About Me
Random quote
History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.
- Robert Heinlein

The more I look at that, the more I think context also matters. An isolated word could have several possibilities, but in context it becomes clear which one is correct.
But, but, but ... phonics! What about phonics? Isn't phonics the one, true way to teach our kids to learn to read good? You just learn the sounds that different letters make in English (and the five million exceptions) and then you can puzzle out any word at all. The example from Cambridge looks suspiciously like the dreaded "look and say" method.
(Now if only "phonics" were more phonetical and "mnemonic" easier to remember.)
