Phoneticalities…
Why is the word phonetic NOT ‘phonetic’ in itself! If it was, it would be spelt ‘fonetic’!
I believe the Irish spell the word ‘fonetic’. This makes me tremendously happy. Somebody somewhere does think!
But back to the cretin who thought fonetic should be spelt with a ‘ph’. Could this perhaps be the same joker who then came up with the ‘phonetic alphabet’.
Do you know what the first word of the fonetic alphabet is?
It’s Alpha.
Am I the only one who thinks this is stupid?
