it's your average lack of understanding that phonology and phonetics do not equate with written forms.
this kind of assertion is especially stupid when speaking about modern english, the greatest clusterfuck of arbitrariness in writing of all written languages.

It actually has a point that English language tends to loan written words from other languages ad verbatim and then completely butcher them with stupid pronounciation.
Like, why don't they just write the word "Jesus" as "Yesoos"?
>>1805780
oh please
The word has been pronounced like that for centuries, we are not going to change it now.
We're not going to start calling that city "Barthalona" either

Yes, let's consider examples where he's wrong:
Raspberry
Jews
Hymns
Fascism
Microcosm
Israel

Also who cares?
I like to think that written English is actually a logographic system that just pretends its characters have phonetic content.

>tfw not living in an alternate reality where china was the first country to settle in the americas and english and spanish use hanzi as a writing system
just imagine how linguistically fucked up anglohanzi would be.
>>1806176
this is of course assuming somehow the brits and spain made into the americas later and the language spread before chinese

Ask him how to pronouce "Julius Caesar" and see if he spergs. If he says it in typical English and doesn't, then he's an idiot who is only virtue signaling.
