The best part about Shitterton is that the name comes from “sewer town.” Not another language, no alternate meaning, it is just it sounds in modern English.

Usually the reason is either because some jerks intentionally changed certain spellings to look more French (“receipt” didn’t have a “p” originally, for example), or just because English is such a mongrel language with words taken from various other languages with different spelling and pronunciation rules.

They aren’t universally, just in certain dialects. I pronounce the “th” just like with “clothing.”

“Made” and “bade” supposedly not rhyming confused me, how is “bade” supposed to be pronounced?

Kinda confused by the ENT uniforms, since she said it hadn’t been updated since the 2260s, which is TOS era. Those uniforms were 100 years old even then!
