A chub from the Grant Corporation
It’s English. Why is “finger” not pronounced “fin-jer”? Rules were meant to be broken.
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883!
Or why "read" and "read" are spelt the same yet mean different things and sound different.
Or that "inflammable and flammable" mean the same thing.
ಠ_ಠ
Shut up!
Now I can't read "post" without it rhyming with "cost" in my head.
Fear is a superpower.

x3 Finger is actually standard, I think. Like "longer". It's derived from "long", where the NG is together and makes a distinct sound.

trigger warning: bitch
It's probably something to do with the origin of the word. I know jack shit about etymology tho

Because English, fuck yeah!

What is it that has like eight different pronunciations depending on what word it's in, "ough" or something? English is weird, man.
Post is spelled like a good number of other long o words, though, like host, most, ghost...
Ghoti. That means fish.
Gh from cough
o from women
ti from ac'tion.
ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER
LOGIC HAS NO PLACE HERE
OTHERWISE WE'D ALL BE ESPERANTO
o-o
HOPI: NO IT DOESN'T BECAUSE
GH ONLY MAKES A /f/ NOISE WHEN IT'S POSTVOCALIC
THE O DEPENDS ON ONE'S ACCENT, FOR EXAMPLE SOME PEOPLE PRONOUNCE WOMEN WITH A SORT OF SHORT U/LONG O NOISE.
TI NEVER BECOMES /sh/ WHEN POST-SYLLABLE.
ENGLISH IS CONVOLUTED AND RIDICULOUSLY MESSY. BUT IT IS ACTUALLY LOGICAL.
ALSO ESPERANTO IS IN SOME WAYS WORSE.
Also it's kinda Eurocentric for what is supposed to be a universal language.

KANKRI MEANS CRAYFISH

On a different note, even though accents tend to fade away in singing, differences of pronunciations of "dance" and "can't" and such tend to stay and hint toward the artist's nationality.
Exists for some reason
DANGIT NINETY
Also, I have no idea what the reason is. Then again I'd never think to define the "oh" sound as being "long O." I would think "ooo" is "long O." I'm not an English major though.

Well technically "ghytieigh" could be fishy.
gh from "laugh" for "ff" sound,the y from "gym" for "ih" sound,ti from "nation" for the "sh" sound,and then "eigh" from "Raleigh" for the "ee" sound at the end
Because shut up, that's why. ~The English Language
Why is "the water" "el agua" instead of "la agua" in Spanish?

Why does German have triple consonants, like "FFF" in Schifffahrt?
And just who the fuck came up with the Georgian language, with its wonderful words which just roll smoothly off the tongue, like "gvbrdgvni" (you tear us) and "mts'vrtneli" (trainer)?
THE CONSONANTS, THEY TEAR US.
You need an adult.
Hey, Georgian just needs to get together with Welsh, and they'd have a proper balance of vowels and consonants.

WELL FUCK.

It's so long, the form has to auto-hyphenate it!
Ich bin nicht schuld! 's ist Gottes Plan!
Inderdaad raar. In mijn taal spreken we 'post' gewoon met een korte o uit.
Mache dich, mein Herze, rein...
Those certainly are words.
I've been thinking today. "Post" doesn't have any supporting vowels to give it the long O sound, so it should rhyme with "cost".
