      Imagine you are reading this aloud, you can’t know how to pronounce the second “read” until you get to “yesterday”. Schrödingers pronunciation.

        Actually, you’re right, I didn’t even think about it

        If I wrote “I love to read, I read an interesting book every day”, then the way you say the latter ‘read’ shifts from my original example, and it depends on context that comes later in the sentence

      Clearly, the solution is to make your own writing system for English and then have noone use it so it just looks like weird gibberish to them
