"ANTIQUE WOOD TODDLER POTTING TRAINING CHAIR"

Hypocrite

One thing (of many) that I just don't get about English pronunciation and spelling is why the word in the title of this post is not spelled hypocrit or pronounced so that the last syllable rhymes with might.

Shouldn't one or the other be the case?

After all, don't we say write, brite and bite with long Is, instead of writ, brit and bit, which have altogether different meanings?

Get back to me on that, would you.
