Quiet Hive now!

I'm writing my assignment now (almost done with part 2 of 3). And about to see if anyone else replied to my thread about paladins.

The love thread is quite lively!

What's your assignment on, randomling? More of that "girl-talk"?

Ooooohhhhh...... that almost got you clawed.

No, it's phonology. Less of the girltalk, more of the cold hard logic.

Okay, here's something that always bothered me. How come "phonics" isn't spelled like it sounds?

It seriously mauled the last person who tried that, and no-ones dared attempt it since...

Ice cream called and I had to answer.

It's Greek, so it's transliterated from another alphabet. It actually is quite "spell-it-like-it-sounds", for English anyway. "Ph" comes from the Greek letter "phi" which was just their version of "f". And how else would you pronounce "onics", pray?
