Printers used to pay more for each letter so ppl added unnecessary letters to make money and then the spellings just remained that way for most words(some changed)

As a teenager, I once asked my dad how to spell "why." He told me to look it up in the dictionary. I literally opened the dictionary, but had no idea where to look. 🤣

I pronounce some of these words fully like this guy because my mom always said them that way to us as kids to be cute. K-nife, lasa-gne, s-cissors, champa-gne are some.

I asked myself these questions so many time when I just started learning English 😁 also, articles (a, the) and the modal verb to be, they make no sense.
