Confusing pronunciation
I've been racking my brain about some American English pronunciations. I really don't understand the logic...
Why is "colonel" pronounced like "kernel"? There's no R in that word. I don't see how you can get that pronunciation out of those letters.
And why is "corps" pronounced like "core" and not "corpse"? What happened to the R and the S?
