My Philosophical Discussion

On the way home from Monsey, when we were closer to home than not, my little brother asked that common question: "Where are we going for dinner?" To that, my sister replied: H-O-M-E. Then I turned to her and said, "No, it's H-O-A-M. Then my sister said, "Why isn't it spelled like that?"

So, I ask you:

Why isn't home spelled H-O-A-M?

Why isn't laundry spelled L-A-U-N-J-R-E-E?

That's how we say it. The D-R-Y at the end makes it seem as if we should be pronouncing it as "dry."

Why does G-N-O-M-E start with a G?

Why isn't it spelled with a K? They should only allow one silent letter. It's too confusing. They need to choose either K, G, P or M. It's just not right.

That's all of the conversation that I can remember this early in the morning. I guess I can call this post the Thought of the Day.

Not to worry, if I remember any more, I will be sure to let you know!
