Yea. I've been in the States for 8 years, yet sometimes my brain thinks about a word and writes it down phonetically.
But hey, at least you know I didn't use ChatGPT to conjure that comment.

Sorry for the pedantry, but "thought" and "taught" are actually phonetically different (/θɑːt/ vs /tɑːt/).
I appreciate that. I tried to pronounce them, and out loud I do differentiate.
But the voice in my head does not.
Pedantry is what makes me better.
That may not be true if you struggle with "th"? Some ESL speakers do.
/θɔːt/ vs /tɔːt/
