I just liked Trumpery because it's already a word β as you know! (Its definition is almost too good to be true.)
It's off(ici)al: February is to be renamed Trumpery.
It's also more understandable when compared with all the forms of "go": going, goes, gone etc. It's not the spelling that's unusual, but the *pronunciation*. We often blame spelling unfairly.

Great first episode of Media Watch, Linton! We particularly liked the mug at the end. All the best for the journey ahead. π
Why did you tell us who is under there? Why not let us discover the answer for ourselves? π
Looks like fun. But oof: "β¦ can't use it's magic power β¦". Where was the proof reader?!
Getting sidetracked and lured by the Sirens of social media surely is your own authentic Odyssey?

Iβd nominate Siegfried Engelmann. He pioneered Direct Instruction, which was proven in the massive Follow Through project to be vastly superior to other forms of pedagogy. (And then of course his work was largely ignored, because that wasn't the result people wanted. π)
That's why we need to go back to teaching Latin!
Nice thread. My preference with such weird words is to sound them they way they look and then acknowledge the way they are actually pronounced. It's a useful mapping process. Many people will tell you they have learned to say "Wed-ness-day" internally when needing to spell that word.
I think of reading comprehension as language comprehension with an extra step in between (decoding). If language comprehension is taught separately from reading, it seems plausible that this will help reading comprehension when/if written word recognition skills improve.
