In Viking's defense: of all the Romance languages French is the most like Latin being spoken and written by a drunk hick with no formal education.

Being racist to the Gauls I see

Actually, I blame the Franks.

I recently saw a tiktok (therefore I'm an expert) that showed that Old French was pronounced pretty much exactly how it was spelled.

Every language simplifies it's pronunciation over time, but usually they alter the spelling when they do, but French just said "miss me with that shit, dog" and decided just to change the rules about pronunciation instead

I mean, I Heard that French monks were paid by the letter scribed, rather than the word, so they just put extra letters into everything using made up rules about spelling.

Except all those apostrophes are like whole Latin phrases that the French just ate!

Probably yes, but the rules are simple enough today that you don't need a PhD to explain though thought, or tie vs tier, or.... wait for it.... live vs live, or record vs record, read vs read.

Consistent and simple aren't the same thing.

That being said, English is neither of those things, so it's a bad comparison to make 🤣

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

How could you say something so controversial yet so true?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah that was my first thought. French pronunciation is fucking ridiculous, this isn't the epic burn you think it is.
