It comes with the failed theory that you can spell different words by "sounding them out". They should really stop teaching that stuff to kids in school, sticks with people for life.
And see... I learned "sound it out" wasn't for spelling. It was for reading. THERE, it makes sense. But spelling?
Also, I get caught on Tongue all the damn time. One of those where I've seen it both ways WAY too often.
I'm guessing that pretty soon, tounge will be the American way and Tongue will be the Brittish way. Like color and colour.
RANDOM: Yesterday, my roommate was teasing me about how I pronounce coupon. He pronounces it cue-pon. I pronounce it coo-pon. ou makes an oo or ow sound, right? I'm thinking this is a to-may-to to-mah-to thing.
