Neither. If you think about it too much then all words are weird because the idea that we created all these rando words to label things is weird. I mean this crap just built up over time and here we are, but some dipshit had to start it at some point and other dipshits had to jump on board or we'd all just be walking around screaming nonsense at each other and punching people in their faces. That's rough ridin' weird. And wonderful.

I mean letters and grammar and multiple languages and translation. rough ridin' wow you guys.

I think the word "bread" is a super weird word IMO

I mean, this has to be the weirdest word ever created, right? It means "more than perfect". WTF does that mean? The word "perfect" was created to cover things without flaws. Who creates a word that means something is somehow better than perfect? A one-upping douche, that's who.

It's kind of the same but kind of the opposite of "penultimate". I mean...just say second-to-last, ya dork.

Why does it need two L's right at the beginning? Why can't it be spelled Loyd?

Originally in Welsh, 'Ll' was used to represent a consonant which is no longer in use in the English language (the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative, for you linguists). The spelling was retained even though the pronunciation was not. If you think that's weird, then consider Llewellyn.

Used this word typing a paper then said it in my head and just sounded, well, weird.
"Next."
-
Good.
where did that word come from? i can guess it derived from God, but someone misspelled it.
-
good comes from the old english 'g?d'. God comes from the old english 'god'. Despite the similar morphology, they are actually not related.

nope, not weird.

"Wind" is kind of an odd word when you think about it. One of the few words that, having the same spelling, has 2 different pronunciations meaning completely unrelated things. At least with "read" it's just a past/present tense issue but the words are still of the same ilk.
I guess "lead" would also fall into that category.

Eff is a really strange word. I am guessing that has been covered. Also, flipping somebody off looks really strange. Stick your middle finger up and then just look at it from all directions. Looks weird. Right?
Gonna win 'em all!

So a major part of my territory is Kentucky and OMG, these doctors flip on the pronunciation of "Louisville". Like, I haven't messed it up yet, but my manager is from Kentucky and we say "Louisville" a lot (for territory purposes) and she tries to correct me on how they say it down there. I can't do it guys, I'll always say it as a northerner. :dunno:
-
Loo-uh-ville? Louis-ville? Loo-uh-vull? Looey-ville? Looey-vull?
Southerners are so stupid

yeah i'll give them the "louhh" part but i'm not going to stand here and say "vull" with a straight face.

my wife does the downgrade pronunciation of crayon and I don't let her say it in front of our kids (or just mock her about it in front of them) so they don't inherit this terrible gene.
her: crAOWN
literally everyone: wtf
her: crAEOWN
me: baby, you know I love you, never speak again in your entire rough ridin' life

its neither a sandwich nor a salad, so this classification seems appropriate :dunno:

arduous.. it's arduous for me to even say it aloud
-
like sure, i get it, if we're at the big game and i'm cheering GOOD JOB TEAM! and my wife gets up to get me hot dogs and then says "what do you want on your sandwich?" then yeah, i'm going to have a bit of a puzzled look on my face when i say "just mustard" but she wasn't wrong to call it that
