English..... Ahhh......😒

Why do we say A for Apple instead of A for Alephant (Elephant)..... 🤷
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
Because in english letters don't have a particular pronunciation, unfortunately.

@SW-User I want that tea. But It's Elephant not Alephant. 🙄
Quizzical · 46-50, M
Because it doesn't start with an A?
SW-User
@Quizzical A,E,I,O,U are vowels...
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@SW-User True, but they are not interchangeable 🤔

Have I missed something?
SW-User
@Quizzical yeah...... My joke....
Bewilderbeeste · 61-69, M
Because "Elephant" starts with "E", obviously.
SW-User
@Bewilderbeeste yeah..... You are educated
masterofyou · 70-79, M
@Bewilderbeeste That's what I said. But I guess they didn't understand that.

Because "elephant" doesn't sound like it starts with an A.
masterofyou · 70-79, M
@goagainsttheflow you are so right..
Lanyx · 41-45, M
French is worse.
SW-User
@Lanyx lol 😝
KA9ha · 31-35, M
OR even say "eye " and "idiotic".... with same pronunciation.
SW-User
@KA9ha 🤪

ABCDEF7 · M
There are many inconsistencies in English.
masterofyou · 70-79, M
@ABCDEF7 A is for Apple.

Means Apple starts with the letter A..
ABCDEF7 · M
@masterofyou I am talking about these inconsistencies.

Because it isn't pronounced AH-lephant, but ELL-ephant
SW-User
@xixgun 😅
punchme · M
Because the Elephant Shape is letter E,,,I guess though😁
masterofyou · 70-79, M
It would be E for Elephant...
SW-User
@masterofyou 🤦‍♀️
masterofyou · 70-79, M
