Comment on It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking
“Made” and “bade” supposedly not rhyming confused me, how is “bade” supposed to be pronounced?
It’s sounds like “bad”, but with a shorter “a”, so like “had”
Although I guess “bade” is used nowadays as well don’t know how erroneous it’s considered to be.

Seemingly Americans in those clips say “bade” (rhyming with “made”) but Brits say “bade” (rhymes with “had”)
