    Women Vs world? Women Vs Woo? Women Vs work? Women Vs wonder?

    Cause the “wom” sequence would be…
    Women Vs Womb?
    Women Vs Wombat?

    The arguement is obviously nonsense.
    It’s going into syntax of words to get pronunciation, instead the acronym/name.
    Which is funny, because that’s exactly what’s happening in the gif/jif argument.

      Not sure what you’re trying to say, but not a single one of those words pronounce the “wo” like it is in “women.”

        It seems to be closest to the i in fish – hence the fun alternate spelling of photi

          Ghoti is better (using the “gh” in “enough”), and yep.

        Womb and women are pronounced the same (well, except the ending).
        Unless it’s a local dialect thing where “women” is pronounced “wimin”?

          Nobody I’ve ever heard pronounces it “woo-min”, only “wimmin.” Definitely not a local dialect.

              Are you from PNW? I think I remember a video from reddit where someone said woo-min and a commenter said they’re from there and say it like that.
