giraffes_arent_real, Still one of my favorite sketches. I love how judge got in on it too
odium, Tbf, these spellings make more sense than the actual spelling. How tf is Lasagna pronounced lasanya? Fuck you romance languages.

mustardman, I wish I was named Tony now. I wish we all were named Tony.
ChamrsDeluxe,
FlyingSquid, My dad used to say ghoti is pronounced fish.
GH as in rough
O as in women
TI as in ration
Dicska, … Or it’s completely silent. Like, the whole word.
GH as in although
O as in people
T as in ballet
I as in business
MxM111, 
Don't start me with things like eye. No chance to spell that correctly if you do not know the word - just random conglomerate of letters.
rockSlayer, Personally, I think it’s really entertaining to say la-sag-na and see who cringes
Anticorp, That’s my internal monologue so that I can remember how it’s spelled.
Fixbeat, Chicken permission is my favorite!

Damage, You can write that however you like, it’s not an Italian word anyway. That would be “parmigiana”, paar-mee-djaa-nah
andscape, Bold of an English speaker to accuse any other language of unpredictable spelling…
Funnily, Italian is almost completely phonemic, meaning it’s trivial to both spell and read words if you know the rules. English can only dream of that.
Damage, As an Italian, it took me a while to understand things like spelling competitions in American movies…
TheGreenGolem, (edited ) As a Hungarian, me too. We spell everything exactly as we write it.
Edit: the reply is right, of course we pronounce everything as we write it.
CheezyWeezle, I, uh… um, yeah. I would hope that you do. (I assume you mean you spell exactly as you speak lol)
LogarithmicCamel, Right. ‘Lasagna’ in particular is spelt exactly like it’s pronounced in Italian.
TommySalami, Hell, it’s spelled phonetically enough for English too. “gn” making the same sound as in “gnome” will pretty much get you there.
I guess to be fair it’s just not a common phoneme, and spelling can be a crapshoot in English.
fubo,
gnin Italian is consistently pronounced likeñin Spanish.
Damage, But with less flair
skullgiver, 
Ask the English speakers who imported words like lasagna and baguette without changing the spelling to lasanya or baget. English spelling barely seems to have anything to do with pronunciation anyway.
Pronouncing lasagna is quite easy, you just need to use the right English words for reference. La from lass, not lady; sa from saggy, not sane; and the gna from “gnaw” I guess, as there’s no good -gn- sound in English words. English does have bologna, but for some absurd reason that ends in -ee when English speakers try to pronounce it.
If you’re using English spelling as a reference, it’s hard to tell whether lasagna should be pronounced laysaynee or lahsahña.
MBM, Ask the English speakers who imported words like lasagna and baguette without changing the spelling to lasanya or baget.
Worst of all, sometimes they change the spelling but only to remove the diacritics that tell you how it’s supposed to be pronounced
Swedneck, It actually used to be spelled “loseyns”
