Tutu

If it's

to (tu)

too (tu)

tew (tu)

and

toe (toh)

tow (toh)

then why is it

so (soh)

sow (soh)

and

sew? (soh)

Shouldn't it be

so (sue)

sew (sue)

and

sow (soh)?

Likewise, if it's

tow (toh)

toe (toh)

then why is it

show (sho)

shoe (shu)

rather than

show (sho)

shoe (sho)?

Then there is always the troubling

nu (nu)

new (nu)

knew (nu)

not to mention the very difficult

no (noh)

know (noh)

now (naw)

problem.

And, whoever came up with that "I before E, except after C, or as pronounced as A, in neighbor and weigh" things was just plain nuts.

I no knot why that is sew but its what eye have red.

If it's

what (whot)

then why is it

that (that)

isn't

that (thot)?

Just wondering ....

Or is it wandering ....

Or maybe wundering ....

I'm so confused.
