    Nah, we just need to go back to the old pronunciation.*

    “Knight” used to be pronounced as it’s spelt. “Outside” used to said like oot-si-deh.

    *I am actually just kidding about that first part, but I do find it fascinating how much the spoken word has moved away from the originally phonetic spelling.
