I do with English would switch to phonetic spelling, including the eventi of the speaker, but we're never going to switch. At least the standardized spelling does have a very minor advantage in terms of disambiguation with homophones. But then we had to go and mess up read/read and lead/lead.

Read/ret lead/let -> easy 😜 but how to write "do" I mean it is not a normal spoken "o" and not exactly a "u" like it is a "u" but without (yo)u Write phonetic is more easy in German, I think, or maybe only because it is my birth language 🤔

I think you might speak English with a thick German accent based on your perceptions of how you’d spell our words

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Fair 😆and expectable, since I normally write phonetic in the german way

Yeah I was really confused until I thought about how my Großonkel would say it lol. But yeah, in my accent both those words voice the d at the end
