How so many people don't grasp the concept of proper phonetics. I've seen someone spell their daughter's name "Halley" and insist it was pronounced like Haley. *facepalm*

I was just talking to my husband this morning about this thread and how I don't understand how some people have such a hard time with pronounciations. I understand the occasional person having some sort of learning disability or just having linguistic stuff not really click for them, but the general population should be better at it than I think they are.
