Fun fact:

American English Desk Dictionaries (printed) have a pronunciation guide in the front.

As I recall, the sound of a "long A" has ~10 different spellings. Here are a few:

"weight"

"wait"

"bate"

"gaol"

etc.

If I recall correctly, several other vowel sounds have multiple spelling as well.

It's no wonder many U.S. high schools require 4 units to graduate!
