you really don't need it there. just look at the word punt. there's no O in punt, so why is there one is country? this language is so stupid. so many rules yet so many exeptions to the rules, and rules that behave differently in different settings. why don't we just use ONE letter per sound and have one sound per letter. and no silent letters either. what the heck is the point of having silent letters? if you can't hear it, why write it? someone please explain this to me? why do we have so many silent Es. why not just have 10 vowels instead of having one vowel have 2 sounds. what is the point of putting two vowels next to each other when you could just use a silent E to make the hard sound. but that's also stupid so why don't we just have a vowel for each sound and use it when you want to make that sound. *** it, i'm just gonna make a new alfabet. let mi no wen yu want tu joyn mi and bi normal in my cuntri

besides, why doesn't country sound like county? in county, i can understand having both vowels there. u hear each of them. i meant two like in boat. why not bote? and why not bot? cause it would sound like robot. why not have o choose what it wants to sound like and get some new vowel like a square be the boat sound. i don't get why our modern language is so illogical. it seems like in each country in the world, there are at least a few thousand who speak english. wouldn't it be nice if we kept the language but just revamped to spelling structure. don't you think it would make learning to read easier for kids. if they didn't have to learn all these crazy messed up stupid crap we have to deal with. kids might even enjoy reading earlier and do better in school. all we need to do is creat a few more constanants and like 8 more vowels and a huge recall on our spellchecks on our computers.

Probably because the root word is "Count". i.e. the area of land ruled and exploited by a Count.

I agree that the English language needs to be simplified by adopting some rules or changes to fix these obvious archaic spellings which serve no purpose other than to complicate an already complicated world. Every year we hear about new words removed or added to the English language. They need to fix the phonetic spellings of a few words every year as well. "mi cuntri this o the" ha ha!

As a gay man, I'm grateful for the difference in spelling.
After all, if I were to travel round the world I wouldn't want to find myself in the wrong Cuntry, because of a linguistic misunderstanding, would I?

I could have an intelligent discussion with you about it, if only you'd chosen another word. You're just being provocative.
