It should be spelled "comsomb," not "consume".

We don’t write “womb” as “wume”.

I want it to be spelled “consomb”.

Fuck your opinion, clearly womb-ists need to die, wume-ism is the only truth!
Show threadprotistDec 8
Why would “comsomb” rhyme with “womb” and not “bomb?” “Consume” derives from Latin. Your opinion lacks basic understanding of etymology.

I want “womb” to rhyme with “bomb”

I want it to rhyme with comb. Comb should be spelled “come”, and come should be spelled… well, you know.

Show threadsp3ctr4lDec 8

Agree.

Just switch both to either oo or uu, because US English speakers are confused by ö and ü.

Consoom / Woom

Consuum / Wuum

Drop the “ends with e or b changes the vowel sound, for some reason, sometimes” nonsense.

Fomb, flomb, plomb, resomb, legomb, volomb, perfomb, presomb, costomb, exomb…

I don’t see the problem here. All perfectly readable.

Okay great, now I’m down a rabbit hole about wombats with their double uteri, triple vaginas, and backwards pouches, because I looked up “wombat womb” …
Show threadboletusDec 8
Idk about you but where I’m from the b is pronounced in womb. Same with comb. Its kinda just cut off though. So like buh without the uh. There’s no b sound in consume.
Show threadpielandDec 8
Checked your comment history out of curiosity and I see you’re in Australia! I’m in the US and the b sound is dropped in both words here
Show threadboletusDec 8
Wild, I had no idea, I just assumed you were saying it with the b, never occurred to me that you guys just don’t pronounce the b at all.
Show threadᴍᴜᴛɪʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴᴡᴀᴠᴇ Dec 9
I was born and currently live in the US and pronounce the b in both words. I thought everyone did.

Show threadtgirlschierkeDec 8
i kinda get it actually
Show threaddrofenvyDec 8

It has to do with the word coming from French to English. There isn’t a b sound in the French word. Sometimes, the weird spellings harden back to French loan words.

My guess is that English speakers spoke it with an accent and it eventually morphs into the modern English pronunciation

konsoom.

woom.

English is dumb.

Show threadRayquetzalcoatlDec 9
You and I certainly pronounce either “consume” or “womb” very differently if those words rhyme for you 😂 where are you from, out of curiosity? No judgement, just curious as I’m not sure I’ve ever heard an accent where those words rhyme!
