I’m unreasonably bothered it isn’t spelled “Inducthor”

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 month ago

Well it's spelled correctly in Portuguese at least.

Portuguese really likes dropping C's doesn't it

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Everybody most hated letter. It doesn't make anysense.

CA sounds like KA CE sounds like SE CI sounds like SI CO sounds like KO CU sounds like KU

In german ck is just k or kk, ch sound like something stuck in throat or hiss, sch is sh.

Only reason need c to make harsh sound.

It wasn't always this weird but C spent too much time hanging out with E and I and they started to influence C. "Ke" and "ki" became "kye" and "kyi" and eventually "che" and "chi" then in some places it turned to "she" and "shi" then "se" and "si". Now we even have "the" and "thi" in some Spanish dialects.

There was an international agreement in the 1970s about that. I imagine Portugal didn't like any bit of it.

*reasonably bothered.

That is a perfectly reasonable bother, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
