  had to explain to my students last week that the 'pre' in preview, pretend, and preface are pronounced in three different ways also. like first class with me, one of the first things i say is "english is stupid. i am sorry, i did not invent this dumb language'

  it's pretty stupid but I also feel like people exaggerate it sometimes

  English Orthography is a wonderful, beautiful, brilliant mess and I love it.
