The curious nature of language
Just considering a few of the curiosities of the language:
Why is 'Abbreviation' such a long word?
Why is 'Pheonetically' not spelt pheonetically?
Why does 'Onomatapaeia' not sound onomatapaeic?
Isn't it cruel to spell 'Blind' with an 'i'?
Why isn't 'Palendrome' a palendrome?
Why is Santa an anagram of Satan?
Any other similar questions?

Onomatopoeia means "the formation or use of words that imitate the sounds associated with the objects or actions they refer to".
