English language is one of the worst languages known to humanity. The way it arbitrarily incorporates some words and makes up pronunciations is diabolical. It took me four tries to spell "pronunciations" correctly.
Be glad that we speak at least somewhat coherently in this bullshit language of yours.

It's just pronounce but then you take away some of the letters for some reason!

And some words, you pronounce the root differently if you add a suffix. There's no rhyme or reason for why, you just do.
