Whats the rule that makes "please" pronounced the same as "pleas"?
Last Updated: 20.06.2025 09:28
Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.
Back in the day (circa 1300), it was written <plesen>.
Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.
There's no rule.
While you may reasonably ask why words are spelled the way they're spelled, it makes no sense to ask why they're pronounced the way they're pronounced.
What's (not “whats”) the rule?
When was the first time your wife had beastiality?
Whence the <ea> I cannot say but some other words that were spelled <ai> in French are spelled <ea> in English: aise → ease, graisse → grease, fait → feat.
Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.
You'll usually find your answer there.
