"If you don't activate Area C, you'll never be a good speller," Gentry argues. "That's where you 'see' a complete word in your mind's eye, whether you're reading it or writing it. And if you can't visualize it, you're just winging it based on what it sounds like. In a language with as many irregularly spelled words as English, you're going to be wrong a lot of the time."

English is a very inaccurate language.

For every word, I have to ask the Supersecret Council Of Speaking English Words Right, how a word is spoken. And the SCOSEWR always finds the most delusional way of speaking it.

English is not speaking. it's mumbling and "fucking !!!"....

It has some crazy spellings and isn't a pretty language.

Area C controls laziness and the penis too, sorry VA.

English is a very inaccurate language.

Anglish is a mashup of languages, each with its own spelling and pronunciation traditions. That's how we get GHOTI pronounced as FISH. (GH as in enouGH, O as in wOmen, TI as in ambiTIon.) We gotta learn all this stuff. Yow.

Sadly, 'ghoti' wouldn't ever actually be pronounced as 'fish' (/fɪʃ/), though. English orthography is extraordinarily complicated, primarily for historical reasons (English spelling is etymological and not phonetic), but it does have rules. And 'ghoti' as 'fish' violates them: e.g. 'gh' is never /f/ word-intially, ti is never /ʃ/ word-finally, etc.

But it does illustrate some of English's idiosyncratic spelling choices.
