    I understand languages get to change over time and once upon a time edinborough was actually pronounced close to it’s spelling, not the butchered edinbra of today. But why the fuck hasn’t the spelling catch up completely puzzles me, since no other language I’ve heard of has issues to the same degree.

      Right? If the pronunciation changes, change the spelling too.
