Fatcucks will defend this. There's also a million other examples, but you're not worth it.

Why the fuck do you give sounds to letters if then you change them in nearly every single word?
>>
>>60259446
>>spelled "coriander"
>>calls it "cilantro"
that's a cooking convention though
coriander seeds
cilantro leaves
like mace vs. nutmeg (same fruit), caraway vs. fennel (very similar plants, use different parts), cabbages vs. broccoli vs. brussel sprouts vs. collard greens, vs. kohlrabi etc etc (all the same species, different cultivars), etc. there are a lot of weird divisions like this when it comes to stuff you eat since it's not named because of what it is, but what it's used for and to distinguish it from other stuff that's similar.

Basically, English is still written like it was spoken during the Middle English period over 600 years ago. The pronunciation changed greatly, but the spelling was never reformed.
