Words That Look Wrong How do you say this word (colonel). It looks like co-lo-nel, doesn’t it? But that’s not how we say it. It’s pronounced /ˈkɜːnᵊl/. What about this word? (yacht) It’s not /jæʧt/. It’s /jɒt/. We get this word from Dutch, so blame them, not us. How about this? (queue) It looks like /kjuːjʊiːʊiː/ but we say /kjuː/. English spellings seems to make no sense sometimes. Do you know any more words where the spelling and pronunciation are totally different? #english #englishteacher #e
