performance is just such a dumb word. mostly due to Americans. even though I probably have grease running thru my veins. like, it’s clearly “per-for-mance.” but it’s “pre-for-mance.” how??? was the first American who read that word dyslexic??? not even sure how to spell dyslexic because y and i make the same damn sound, except when Y IS A CONSONANT??? NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO. Y HAS TO CHOOSE ALREADY. it cannot be both a vowel and a consonant. no. just no, I may have 0 actual linguistics knowledge but this isn’t right. and neither is this ryght. and the mess which is -fying. like defying. why is -fying a thing. fai-ing, seriously? and then fyng would literally sound the same, right? faing. faing, literally so much easier than fAi-InG. and it literally sounds the same!!! like I propose a spelling reform: y -> either i, ai, or й. don’t ask about the й part. just йes.
