What's the worst spelling of a word?

[Uncle Holter]

I'm thinking of words that are pronounced totally differently compared to how they are spelled.
The worst example I can think of is the Swedish word "genre"(has the same meaning as in English), the problem is that it is pronounced "schanger" so there is literally no semblance of resemblance.

Are there more examples like this in other languages where the spelling and pronunciation of a word is completely divorced? Is it just a bork bork problem?

Ghoti for fish

Anything Welsh.

I hate the word "Gyro". There is always some faggot who will correct you on it.

Every C in Pacific Ocean makes a different sound and using those sounds you could spell shakes as cacec.

why does island have an 's'?
why does receipt have a 'p'?
why do paradigm and sign have a 'g'?
why does the word 'rhythm' only have a "sometimes 'y'"?
and for the love of all that is english, wtf is up with the word 'queque"?

so that its not pronounced "ill and"

words in the english language typically contain vowels.
every kindergartner learns that the vowels in our alphabet are "a, e, i, o , u, and sometimes y".

i don't know why you decided to be a pretentious prick about my post, but i'm responding in kind.
