>>25231541As the other guy said, read more.If someone misspells it means he learned through listening. If someone mispronounces it means he learned through reading.Also, don't worry. Lots of high-achievers have been poor spellers. Hemingway's letters are hilarious, for instance. The guy had no clue. Flannery O’Connor is another example. In one of her books she wanted to say someone had a "tear in his throat", i.e. his voice sounded torn. But she spelled it "tare". They thought she was making some clever Biblical allusion so left it intact. "I have always been a very innocent speller" she explained in a letter to a friend.
I've got the opposite problem. I keep wanting to pronounce things as they're written and it is a habit I've not been able to easily shirk. My native tongue is Swedish and this fucks me up especially. I started doing this 2 or 3 years ago and it is getting worse. All my collegues are Arabs and their own pronounciations and messing me up too, I want to make myself understood by them but that means I can't speak normal colloquial Swedish because they're retarded Arabs and I hate having to explain myself repeatedly. So when I speak rikssvenska I am very orthodox and I feel myself like an automaton.
Get a brain, moran.

English spelling reform when?
>>25232740I hate this
>>25232746There are too many English dialects spread across too many countries for English spelling reform to be a thing.That said we should bring back Þ and θ.
>>25231541Everyone should just start pronouncing all the mute letters and force English to become phonetic. It's P'sychology and G'nome now.
>>25232794I already pronounce the ls in folk, yolk, talk, and walk and pronounce awry as awree
>>25231541if you read old enough books you'll find authors used to spell words however the fuck.it does not matter.
>>25232794There is a school of thought that believes in doing this with French words etc, so they jolly well know they’ve been Anglicized. I remember some television programme decades ago in which a young child was reading something in school. She encountered "grand prix" and pronounced it phonetically.Teacher: "Ah, that should be 'grond pree'."Child: "Well, it says 'grand prix' here."Truly, out of the mouths of babes and sucklings. Bending over backwards to try to pronounce imported foreign words "correctly" is a cuck move.
>>25231541spell it using the International Phonetic Alphabet
Past week been þinking to unapologetically spell words more as they're pronounced.Just say fuck it with the þuruh like words. Apparently this just means going back to older spellings.
