as an learner of english, i just feel the word makes english complex and hard.
i believe language that is simple in every possible way is superior and makes us smart.
anyway, im a big fan of english and this tip is very helpful. thanks!!

I read that the S in "island" is a mistaken attempt at correcting the spelling; people wrongly thought there used to be an S in "island" because they wrongly associated it with "isle".

Woh, this one is actually really informative!

History is full of these surprises. It's fascinating how language can record and retain these oddities, sort of like how viruses accumulate bits of DNA from their hosts. Oh dear, I still can get viruses out of my mind for some reason.

It's the same for "Victuals" isn't it?

Interesting... where I am from (East Coast US--NY/Jersey), we pronounce the 'C' in "indict".

Also interesting that this criticism of "after-the-fact correction of spellings based on Latin" is coming from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary YouTube page since Noah Webster is one of the loudest voices in the "let's artificially Latinise English" movement...

"Indict" comes from Latin _indictus, _ which is made up of the prefix _in-_ and _dictus, _ the past participle of _dicere_ 'to say'. From _dicere_ Spanish speakers get the word _decir_ and from _dictus_ we get our word _dicho, _ the corresponding past participle.

so indite and indict, despite having different meanings, are homophones, and were originally spelt the same way. You have to love the language

Stupid Colonial scholars thinking "Oh! It comes from the Latin indictus? Then we should make it look that way!".

Pronounce indict as indict. Pronounce endite as endite.keep it simple and smart or leave dictionary creation.
