How to spell a word "daughter"?

posted May 27th, 2016 at 4:02 PM

I've been sponsoring that woman who became my wife and have done REALLY a lot in the past 4 years to get her started in Canada, language wise too. She complains that I don't help her in anything. Recently she couldn't spell a word "daughter" properly. I found that I don't know what else I can do for her if she cannot find her guts to work with a simple book of English.

Since you're so much better and more powerful than her learn to speak on a way that doesn't make you lok like an idiot.

I know I come off as a stoned idiot, but you really text it to the next level.

what the hell are you talking about and why is this a confession

English is obviously the OP's second language. But he learned it well enough to write all that out. His now-wife should pull her weight, too. (P.S. I'm a woman)

Considering her situation I think your role should be one of patient teacher/mentor. She looks to you for help and this is your reaction?
Daughter is one of those weird ones with the pointless 'gh' in there and to a non-english speaking person I'd bet it would take lots of repetition to get this one down pat.
Knowledge is wasted on those who don't willingly pass it on to others.
