I’m sorry, but I did the thing where I write a comment and then delete it because I assume no one cares about my opinion

since you replied though, I should make it clear what I said to give context

I said that man and men, as well as woman and women, sound the same when speaking. male and males, female and females, make a clearer distinction

You pronounce the words man and men the same way? And this is also the case for woman and women?

Am I understanding you correctly?

Ugh, this conversation has reminded me of how much I hate that woman is pronounce wo-men and women is pronounced like wimmen.

Why can’t we just spell words as they are pronounced or pronounce words as they are spelled? It would make the language much easier to learn for future generations
