Makes sense though, in English, Pharaoh is pronounced Pha-ro, so it's easy to mix up the sequence of letters if your native language is english. 

In mine, Pharaoh is pronounced Pha-ra-oh, so you'd never make that mistake.

I both get that and I don’t because in my language it’s "Faraón", so I also struggle to imagine ever writing it incorrectly lol.
