Pronunciation is not the same as spelling. One does not necessarily spell a word the same way it is pronounced. Hence my annoyance with "sammich" and variants thereof.
Continuing with Latin examples, just because one might, for instance, say "Pay-ter" instead of "Pah-ter" (which makes me cringe too, but that's another kettle of fish entirely), it's still always spelled "Pater."

A: if you had to listen to Latin for 1000 years, you'd fall too.
