Yea. I've been in the States for 8 years, yet sometimes my brain thinks about a word and writes it down phonetically.

But hey, at least you know I didn't use ChatGPT to conjure that comment.

Sorry for the pedantry, but "thought" and "taught" are actually phonetically different (/θɑːt/ vs /tɑːt/).

I appreciate that. I tried to pronounce them, and out loud I do differentiate.

But the voice in my head does not.

Pedantry is what makes me better.

That may not be true if you struggle with "th"? Some ESL speakers do.
