    Something tells me it’s you who doesn’t read enough. Checkout some words whose pronunciation is different from the spelling. You’d be surprised to know why that is. Or why some words have changed their spellings (from colour to color or metre to meter).

    “Bigot” is not a good look on you.

    Yes I understood that in the second reading. I deleted the comment but I guess it was not propagated in time everywhere. Also you can’t add up the men’s and women’s percentages because the number of participates could vary between the two groups.

    Tell me this, why don’t “but” and “put” sound similar?

    What about “height” and “weight”, what’s the rule here? And what makes a letter silent in a word? If any of these rules have exceptions, then why are there exceptions?

    They are “descriptives” that’s literally in the name. Mocking them is equivalent to mocking historians for only knowing the past and not being able to predict the future.



  • You gave me non answers.

    1. Yes we need smart people everywhere not just in politics. Be it doctors, accountants, engineers, clerks, elctricians and everywhere else. So when it comes writing the constitution, how do you select these smart people?
    2. So your answer is you don’t know you’d just accept and believe what the “smart people” tell you?
    3. So who changes the constitution? Same smart people who wrote the bad constitution? Do you need a new set of smart people? If so how do you select these new people?

    Have you given any serious thought to what you’re advocatong for?
