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

    Well it's spelled correctly in Portuguese at least.

    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

    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.
