(sorry, stray post, nothing to see here folks)
Alchohol, Cholesterol, what’s a lively (struggling) liver to do with them tahhhhmaters thrown…
Chough, chough… 
Alcohol just seems too easy. Some of us psych ourselves out and end up misspelling it alchohol or some other way.
Oh yay, I’m two of those permanently remembered 474 posts. Lets make it 3.
alchohol!
It comes from the Arabic word كحل kuhl, which is the origin of ‘kohl’. You know, eyeliner.
Some people actually pronounce it that way: “Alc-ho-hol”. Not that it could possibly account for those Google numbers…
They’re related to the people who spelled “skokie” as Schuylkill and “kalis” as chalice and who insist in pronouncing the ch in my lastname as a k even after I’ve told them one thousand and one times it’s “Che like CHOcolate”?
A spelled “ch” seems to be a phonetic k as often if not more than it’s a phonetic ch, in English. Add “knowing there’s an h somewhere” and that a phonetic k could be written as c, k or ch (and probably as other things I’m forgetting) and well, yeah, it’s confusing.
Yep, it’s chonfusing all right.
Here’s the weird thing. We’ve got these stray letters that serve absolutely no purpose. So let’s bring back “x” to mean “ch”. And “c” to mean “sh”, any kases where you would use a hard “c”, just use a “k”, and any kases you use a soft “c” use an “s” and any cases you use a “ch” you use an “x”.
We wouldn’t have to add any extra letters to they keyboards or anyþing.
Qadgop is just feeling cranky because he has to do all those prostrate exams.
Speaking of spelling disasters involving the letters “ch”, how are we coming along on that Re-edukation Camp for all the parents who have named or are planning to name their little girls “Chasity”?
I find supine exams easier.
Not quite as bad as lupine exams though!
So…beer goggles are to be blamed on the Middle East? OOOH! I guess they are!
