Wait until you hear the bastard child of French, germanic and a bunch of other languages. You can have a word like “lead” and you don’t even know how to pronounce it!

If I wrote “I love to read, I read an interesting book every day”, then the way you say the latter ‘read’ shifts from my original example, and it depends on context that comes later in the sentence

“I love to read, I read an interesting book yesterday”
Seriously, who came up with this shit 😭
Imagine you are reading this aloud, you can’t know how to pronounce the second “read” until you get to “yesterday”. Schrödingers pronunciation.

Uh, that is pronounced “lead”. You’re welcome.
For those illiterates who need a clear example, “lead lead lead.” Simple geography.
