Well how else would we learn spelling? Didn’t you literally have spelling lessons at schools as a kid where you’d have lists of words to learn?

- wincy 5y agoI think the popular wisdom in the US at least is you learn phonics and learn patterns which is how you learn to spell. As if there’s some “trick” to it. But especially in English there’s a million different things that don’t follow the supposed rules. So just memorizing by virtue of being constantly exposed to words is the way to go. Eventually you can’t help but be mostly literate.
