    T as on tit would be less ambiguous

    Edit: I just realized/actually read the whole thing. The whole point is that it is ambiguous 😑

    " is dye " if the last word is gyroscope.
    " is dee" if the last word is the Egyptian gyro food.
    Edit: oh, snap. I re-read the as-in words. It’s all ambiguous! lol😀

    UK /ˈtʃuːz.deɪ/ US /ˈtuːz.deɪ/

    I sorta like that written English doesn’t care how it’s pronounced. However, I do think people should care less about spelling; if it’s clear, it’s done its job.
