TIL canoes isn't pronounced kay-noes like volcanoes... English why do you keep bamboozling me 😩
Because English isn't a language, it's a goon in a trench-coat that lures other languages into dark alleys and beats them down to steal spare grammar.
Canoe comes from Caribbean indigenous words through Spanish and Volcano comes from ancient Latin and Roman religion.
