How would be the best translation for: Citat: bezvezanjković - u smislu nepouzdan čovjek i neozbiljan čovjek, koji živi samo od danas do sutra po instiktima, ne možeš se na njega ništa osloniti, neambiciozan plus što nema nikakvih moralnih vrijednosti

Jedan zanimljiv spell je kad imate gh :
cough (kašalj) - čita se kof , ili kaf ako ste Irac
rough - "r"af
Caught , bought , thought, - gh je nečujno.
Night, Light - najt , lajt
Ghetto, spaghetti - geto, spageti

Also "gh" is silent at the end of some words: for example, "though" rhymes with "go".
Place names can be a bit tricky too: Edinburgh is pronounced Edinbru or Edinburu - the last u rhymes with u in up - so its an "ugh" sound not an "oo" sound. If you are American it's pronounced Edinboro though.

Ghetto, spaghetti - geto, spageti Ghetto, spaghetti - geto, spageti Both words are loanwords from Italian, so they follow Italian spelling rules in this case. This is very common in English, just to borrow the spelling along with the word. This is one of the reasons also, why one can't read English as it is written. Because the English language doesn't change the spelling to go along with the changing articulation, at least not in most cases.

Some interesting spelling differences. neighbour (Britain + Commonwealth) neighbor (US) favour (Britain + Commonwealth) favor (US) flavour (Britain + Commonwealth) flavor (US) colour (Britain + Commonwealth) color (US)
and so on....
Notice the pattern with the suffixes.
Most of these word are loaned from French and the are then, of course, Latin by origin.

Colonel should be pronounced as kernel, I think.

I placed - between words so that the reader sounds them out as syllables. Typo, I should have typed Ar-kan-so(r) R or no r it’s a matter of semantics. W isn’t in the Croatian alphabet. However, it’s use is widespread as in WC. The reader in my opinion would recognise the W and say it as if they were saying W in WC. Cheers.

WC is pronounced VC (VE-CE, to be more exact) over here, actually. W is pronounced as something between U and V, but much more U than V. In any case, we don't have that sound in any word, literally not one word contains that sound. Slovenians have that sound, and they write it as V. Cheers.

Citat: In 1881, the pronunciation of Arkansas with the final "s" being silent was made official by an act of the state legislature after a dispute arose between Arkansas's two U.S. senators as one favored the pronunciation as /ˈɑːrkənsɔː/ AR-kən-saw while the other favored /ɑːrˈkænzəs/ ar-KAN-zəs.[c]
In 2007, the state legislature passed a non-binding resolution declaring that the possessive form of the state's name is Arkansas's, which has been followed increasingly by the state government.[15]

Wiki So the possessive form is pronounced "Arkensoz". Though at first I thought "Why the fuck did he post that, he said nothing new about the subject", you actually corrected me about the pronunciation of Arkansas, it's not "Arkanso", it's "Arkenso". Though it's really between those two, it is slightly more E than A, very slitghtly, but nevertheless, if I were on a quiz, I would go with E, but I wouldn't be that much wrong to go with A either.

Draught goes more like draft.
Quinoa is a new "superfood", a nutritional scam for rich people in the West.
