Answer: omg lol imma answer 1 question

Explanation: ok so imma answer "Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?" there is a direct relationship between the spelling and the sound. It is important to understand that English is not a phonetic language. So we often do not say a word the same way it is spelled.
