HelpBut that doesn't really matter (m)

When you see the word "who", how would you pronounce it? "Woh"?
When you see the word "of", how would you pronounce it? "Off"?
When you see the name Michael, how would you pronounce it? "Mitch-ay-el"?
Just because something seems like it makes the most sense phonetically, doesn't mean it's correct.

Don't know what those examples have to do with what I said...
Of course not on those, I still stick by what I said...

If you just saw the name Chey, would you pronounce it Shy or Shay?
I was trying to point out that just because something seems like it would be the correct pronunciation, doesn't mean it actually is. As is the case with "who", "of", and "Michael". Just because they seem like they should be pronounced "woo", "off", and "Mitch-ay-el" doesn't mean they actually are. And just because Chey seems like it should be pronounced "Shay" doesn't mean it actually is.
