Phlegm I've been a bit chesty lately, coughing up phlegm, then I started thinking, what a weird spelling phlegm is. We (or at least I do) pronounce the word 'flem', which would be so much easier to spell. What words are weird to you?
I have no idea why but the word “boat” has always seemed weird to me. I almost laugh sometimes when I hear it.
rhythm I always have to double check. Also Sergeant and Colonel I thought it was Sargent for years, but usually got Colonel right.
