Spelling bee..
What is it ? A spelling bee is a competition in which contestants are asked to spell a broad selection of words, usually with a varying degree of difficulty. E niente di certo in Inglese NON possiamo certo dire “si legge come si scrive’. Nel post di ieri presentavo alcuni diversi modi in cui si pronuncia la combinazione “OUGH”. Per non parlare poi delle letter mute…e lo dico sempre sempre sempre.. la L di TALK NON si pronuncia; che dire poi della K di KNOW?
TISNS : Things Italians Should Not Say
