If you know the sounds of the letters you can figure out how to say it. That said, there are some words that folks say differently than they are spelled out of custom but knowing the correct way and using it for emphasis "Thank you" is written phonetically as "spi cee bo" but is commonly pronounced "spi cee ba". Some folks I know will use the former for extra emphasis. Sort of like "Thank you!" versus "thanks" Joe In a message dated 1/23/2009 6:32:55 A.M.

(I think George Bernard Shaw recognized the possible existence of ghoti that Inge showed us.) Having studied variously German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, when I got to Russian and found that the same sound could be represented by é, ê, or éê, and that ç, in a few pronouns, was pronounced as ÷, I noticed myself getting rather irritated. After a little while, however, the thought occurred to me - what must learners of English have to deal with?
