The real issue is that spelling gets decided based on pronunciation, but after pronunciation subsequently changes the spelling may be retained out of inertia or respect for tradition or to make it easier to read old books (spelling stays consistent over centuries).
In Chaucer's time (late 1300s) there was a sound in night before the t very like the last sound in "loch." By Shakespeare's day (late 1500s) it was gone. But the spelling lives on.

G: That was a concise and clear explanation. It's nice that there are slight reformations in spelling from time to time though, as in Sweden in 1906...
Caryn: Det är vi väl alla?
Snortley:
English may not have been reformed for a couple of reasons. For one, xenophobia; the desire to estrange outsiders through a language difficult to learn. Then there is social stratification; when language mastery is hard, only the more educated upper classes fully master the standard dialect, and the lower classes are marked and separated by their own differing usage.

Spanish and Portuguese, for example, have national academies that study this stuff and make changes slowly every few decades.
Remember when the German academy pronounced what will ultimately be a death sentence on the ß in the 90s? (It's being replaced by ss, which is essentially what ß is.)
Benjamen Walker:

Michael:

What was really the point of the phasing out the ß? I always found it kind of a charming thing. Looks cool on street signs etc. Is it that it isn't as easy to understand for a newbie/foreigner as just ss?

Gothic script goes back to how medieval manuscripts were handwritten in northern, German-speaking areas of Europe, and the fonts more used now come from Italian Renaissance typefaces based on more south-European handwriting.

In contrast, there's "ough," which in English is pronounced at least 11 different ways.

@Hugo: one of my local towns, Hörby, has the official website horby.se.
For those of you not familiar with Scandinavian languages, that becomes "whore village".
@Caryn: When I took German classes at a Swedish uni it was kind of a lottery which words would be OK to use ß in. On the umlaut I really don't get it either. Most people who don't speak German, Swedish etc just use the letter underneath the dots anyway...

...@ least Cinco de Mayo a legit commemoration of chucking the French outta Mexico - which even as a (part) FrenchDescendant I salute
- but point being how many Holidays (Holy Days) observe anything but mass hysteria of some kind? Not that I'm against Festival ( see Barbara Ehrenreich's 'Dancing in the Streets' - !) - but if they're gettin' violent on Black Friday - I think we should have the right to Opt Out w/out social stigma...War on Xmas - !!!
