- buzer 4y agoLet's just switch to ralli englanti
- Koshkin 4y agoI just pronounced your comment the way it is written, and I did not like what I heard.
- vnorilo 4y agoI automatically heard it in the voice of older Finnish politicians speaking english in the 90s
- queuebert 4y agoIf English weren't so arbitrary and complex, it would be exponentially harder to detect scammers.
- IIAOPSW 4y agoAnd don't forget detecting when the lower classes are in our presence. Without arbitrary rules strictly enforced, how are we to know who went to the "right" schools? Besides, what other useful things could kids possibly do with that class time other than learn the rules?
- leke 4y agoMakes me wonder how hard it would really be to change it. For example. Why can't we use k when the c sounds like a k. kat, price, cirkle, cirkumference, kick.
- vjk800 4y agoAnd in the places where you left 'c' it sounds like 's'. You could just replace 'c' with either 'k' or 's' everywhere and get rid of letter 'c' entirely.
- leke 4y agoAnd that's how Finnish does it :)
- CRConrad 4y agoC is bad enough, but how they fuck up the letters g and q... You hear the latter called "guu" more often than not.
- droobles 4y agokat, prise, sirkle, sirkumferense, kik. I think if someone sent me those words I could parse it!
- leke 4y agoSaying those in with Finnish pronunciation was like speaking rally English :D
