When English is your only language and you can’t even get that right, maybe who’s running for mayor shouldn’t be your biggest concern. Try mastering your ABCs first and then we can move beyond sesame street level issues.
“pronounced like it’s spelled” doesnt help the average english native speaker, because english spelling is stupid. you can see this when they try to pronounce any unfamiliar/foreign word and they just randomly skip letters or insert new ones. their default strategy seems to be to expect every unfamiliar word to be like “through”.
If you were taught to read in an American school up until like 10-15 years ago you would’ve been taught phonics, and how to “sound out” a word, and then over time you learn lots and lots of exceptions.
