There's this road in Texas in my general area named Kuykendahl. Now, the "kendahl" is said kendall, like you'd think, I have no problem with it and rather like it.
But the kuy.
is pronounced ker.
Kerkendall.

I hate it so much! Whoever thought that was a good way to spell (or pronounce it) is a jerk.

@Endee Just adding a - would be enough to make it easier to read, especially pronounce. The same goes for German :P

Just though of another word. This time a german one. It's actually my favourite word, because it's beautiful. I present:

Teeei

Yup, not a typo. Three Es in a row. I can be aternately written as Tee-Ei, but who'd do that? In case you are wondering, it means literally translated 'tea egg' and refers to a round or oval metal tea filter.

Edit: I feel like adding this. Look at all those beautiful cases of the word. It's one of those things that just looks strange in all the best ways.
