Interesting, I never had an issue with those but the one that got my growing up was awry. I still want to read it as “aw-ree” like “awful” despite knowing it’s actually “ah-rye”. I also knew the latter as a spoken word but I guess I didn’t question how it was spelled for a long time.
Fun, less useful fact in a similar vein: “Antipode” is pronounced “anti-pode” how you’d expect but the plural “Antipodes” is pronounced "an-ti-po-dees"like A Greek word. I still have no idea why that’s the case.

Why should everyone be forced to get up earlier because some of the population want to? They can already do that!
And to people who say “mORe LiGhT iN tHe evEnINgS” - for most of us in Europe it’ll only buy you a few weeks at most and then it’ll be dark by the time you finish work/school anyway.

You’re right about the frequency for sure, most things with an AC motor for example wouldn’t handle it.
But a quick search shows people have done this for things like kettles without issue.
I’m curious since you guys still use 240V for washer, dryer, cooker, EV charger, etc. Could you legally install a 240V socket (with a different plug type) and use an appliance from a 240V country?
I get it would probably be overkill for a kettle alone but I’m curious why it’s only common for some things. Is it regulated, like do devices need a special approval to be allowed to run 240V in US?
