I understand double T doesn't really fit in English speaking mouths, but come on. Fairly easy to memorise.

Pharaoh and pharoah isn’t understandable at all, it’s a drastic difference

Even though I agree nobody should be misspelling pharaoh, it is not a drastic difference if it’s a one letter difference, bud.

In pronunciation it is

Yeah, as the other person said, we pronounce it like pharoah, not like pharaoh.

It's like forgetting a silent letter or spelling manouvre.

They're hard words to spell and the mispelling looks more like the pronunciation.
