RE: common speeling errors
Back on track, guys.
Here's one that pops up every now and then, and it seems I'm the only one that spots it: my favorite fairy tale features a very nice looking fairy tail.

I'm not even sure about some letters. Why do we have a C? The sound it makes is the same sound as either a K or an S. Though there are the CH sounds out there. English is weird.

It's the result of speaking a very old Germanic language with lots of romance language influences particularly old Norman French, French, and Latin.

Might pet hate, which occurs all too commonly in speech also, is could of/would of.

Would've -> Would have

Very reasonable to be circumspect when considering whether or not to pet a hate. Some bite.

Actually I butcher the human language regularly .. and only sometimes for comedic affect.

Hell, why do we have a double U that looks like a double V but sounds like neither?!?
