I understand languages get to change over time and once upon a time edinborough was actually pronounced close to it’s spelling, not the butchered edinbra of today. But why the fuck hasn’t the spelling catch up completely puzzles me, since no other language I’ve heard of has issues to the same degree.
I recently learned the correct spelling of the word prerogative and I still haven’t recovered.

Burrough turned into burrow and borough, both pronounced differently to brow, rough, trough, thought and through.
I hate English.

Literally said how its spelt though? Am I missing something?
I’ve always heard it pronounced per-ogative, not prr-ogative
Прерогатива. More spelling for you.
