optional

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Is there anything else for me to do on the island? Is it big enough to go hiking, can you swim in the ocean, or is there just a desk and a chair and you have to play all day while not eating/sleeping? Because if that was the case, I’d choose some sports game, probably Nintendo’s Ring Fit Adventure, but I don’t know any alternatives. Sitting at the desk 16 hours a day would be quite uncomfortable after a while. Other than that my choices have already been named: Factorio (can I wait till October please, before you send me off to that island 🙏. I can’t wait 5 more years for the expansion!) and KSP.

It’s not silent, but in the wrong place. Haet would be more correct, as it changes the pronunciation from [hæt] to [heɪt]. Hait might be an even better way to write it (see also: bait, maid, laid etc.)

English is a weird language.

So we should write fiid and niid then? In German, if you wanted a word that’s pronounced like the English need, you’d write nied.

Anyhow, just removing the second e without replacement would not help in knowing how to pronounce the word by reading it.

If they are silent, they don’t chang the pronunciaton, becaus if they do they are not silent.

Dubl e’s mak sens thou. Ther’s a diffrenc between feed and fed, or between need and Ned. The dublin maks the E longer.

Wy do yu insist so strongly on writing thre mor letters that do nothing to chang the pronunciaton of the word? Ar yu French?
