But 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.
