- English is not written phonetically like many other languages. However, there are rules. About 70% of English words follow certain spelling conventions. This video is about rules in spelling that are broken by a word that is pronounced in a way you wouldn't expect causing no end of distress to the learner. We should change English spelling but until we do please carry on watching my videos on that subject.
