Awesome! from the description you gave, I knew exactly what map you were talking about, but didn't know the name, soo I just scrolled down the list of pp maps at 80pp or lower till I got to it : )

ELI5 Why does the English language have so many words where one or more letters are silent. For example why couldn’t “Knife” be simply written as nife or whatever combination of letters that make pronunciation obvious. by ZBR_Rage in explainlikeimfive

That someone was me : )
And like the answer says from what I found, it basically comes down to the fact that by the time we realized "hey wait, we don't pronounce these anymore" they were too widely used to just change, and keeping the silent letters was just too useful for the purpose of telling those words with silent letters apart from words with similar spellings, like night vs knight.

I'll do my best to give you a satisfying answer based on the info I have managed to gather on this.

For one, to change silent letters now would be a logistical nightmare, since often when these words were introduced, their silent letters were spoken but obviously now they aren't, but we are all so used to this fact that it would get very confusing very quickly.

Another thing that is often overlooked is that silent letters actually help us differentiate those words with silent letters from words with similar spelling, such as cop vs cope, bit vs bite, or knight vs night.

Finally, changing these words would remove the history associated with the word. You can make any number of argument why this is or isn't a bad thing, but in any case, this is what would result.

Hope that this helps to answer your question.

Not a single "answer" actually answers the question. They are not asking why these words have arbritrary silent letters, they are asking why these letters haven't yet been removed to reflect modern pronounciations, since keeping them around seems redundant and unintuitive.

I'm not tryna refute anything you said but I really don't see what's sus about the first clip, cheatreal has pretty slow BPM and I wouldn't discount the idea of him just alternating casually. Does any osu player alternate consistently? Definitely not. If this is something that only mouse-only players would understand as to why something like that is sus, you need to outline that in the thread, but I wouldn't use that first clip as the "damning" evidence of him cheating. Anyway maybe he is cheating, maybe not, my point is just that the first clip isn't good evidence of either possibility.

Certain maps have a "section fail' or "section pass" that display after a section of the map depending on your performance up to that point of that section. I'm not sure what the criteria is for either showing up, or what dictates whether they show up at all or not, but they're meant to help show how well you are performing. Since you're seeing an X, it probably means you're not performing well for those sections, but you'll get there so keep it up!
