RE: Why do "busy" and "bury" have U's in them?

in #writing5 years ago

Languages often changes as the people who speak them changes as well, this was the case with Latin which spawned languages like Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, etc, distance between speakers play a large role in this, I see this "busy, bury" phenomenon similar to how some words are pronounced similar in America and the UK but written differently like "Armor" and "Armour" but I didn't know it had to do with standardization of writing, so cool! Thanks for sharing!
