- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I have advice below if you’re interested, but if you’re just ranting, that’s totally fair and feel free to ignore the rest.
Honestly, just treat English as a pictographic language. The pronunciation rules have so many exceptions, that you can either get well informed about the history of English spelling and the etymology of new vocabulary, or you can just assume the spelling is decoupled from the pronunciation. Spelling is probably less important than pronunciation generally (though it depends on how you use English) because spellcheck is pretty good nowadays.
Yeah that's what I did basically. It's a good advice at the end of the day.
