crdle- doesn’t eshkol mean a bunch of grapes? how are those 2 connected? I don’t know who you’re hanging around, but nearly all sefaradim I know pronounce hebrew differently than ashkenazim. sefaradim distinguish between an aleph/ayin, chet/hay, and kaf/qof, for example.
Therefore, they can spell more easily because spelling becomes phonetic- no sefaradi would ever spell ra’iti with an “ayin” because an ayin and an aleph sound different (ayin is more guttural)!!!
