Yeah, it really depends on who you talk to. Of the people I've talked to and can stereotype effectively, some (public-schoolers ) fail to pronunce many words properly (spellcheck, stop telling me that "pronunce" is misspelled. It isn't, so shut up! ), while a few (mainly certain homeschoolers) painstakingly pronunce everything absolutely perfectly, sometimes even to the point of awkwardness. A few even use "old" (i.e. middle) English in normal conversation. People in the Americas use ye olde Middle English? I did not know that. A select few of us.

It is easier to pronunce, but some of the spellings are almost completely unrelated to said pronunciations (or vice versa). And a lot of words can be spelled different ways, sometimes depending upon the context (e.g. grey/gray, color/colour, maneuver/maneouver, center/centre, etc.).

MLB, I'm on a mobile device RN, and I don't see an option for jammers. Enlighten my ignorance.

If you count that, then the LMBs have jammers on mobile too, as long as you have an Android.

I would say this is off topic, but given Tolkien's profession of Philology....
