i would really LOVE to teach this in US schools. This actually isn't within the curriculum.
not for nothing but what is it with some black people being unable to say the YOU sound with the U letter. ambYOUlance, ridicYOUlous. not being racist at all but i have yet to come across anyone else who can't say YOU when a word with the letter U is within the word. this is one thing and i don't mind it with lay people but i have a hard time when some educators apparently can't speak appropriately.
It doesn't make sense why was is said as woz.
I said as sed to rhyme with bed and led.
I say groove, prove and move to rhyme but the final two should rhyme with grove.
I saw what to rhyme with cot and rot, but it should rhyme with chat.
wash and cash should rhyme.
watch and catch should as well.
I say nation as Nay shun.
I say Iron as I un.
I'm sure there are many more examples.
English seems to have many differences in spelling and pronunciation.
