Just wanna say I didn't downvote you.

I get your argument, maybe we SHOULD pronounce it lahseer, sounds cool.

Lahseer does sound cool, but I'm in favor of words being spelled as fonetikuhly as possible in English.

In order to do that, we have to clean up what each letter does first. The whole reason the gif fight started is because G and J overlap in sound values a lot. And don't get me started on S, C, K, & Q.

And O.

But, still, there are letters that have fairly consistent pronunciations. Where possible we should try to stick with those.

I've given up on vowels. Mercedes, Echinacea, Manoeuvre, shield, beige, just throw them around until it looks right.
