why is “tie” prounounced like “tai” but “tier” is pronounced exactly like the german word “tier” or the english word “tear”?????
why is the english word “bear” not pronounced like “tear” but “beer” is????
WHY IS TEAR PRONOUNCED DIFFERENTLY BASED ON WHAT IT MEANS????
why is “heir” pronounced like “hair”?????
why is the english language so confusing
it’s even better than that; “heir” is pronounced as “air”
