English spelling is weird but thats not really a hard word to spell compared to many others. Epitome is either an e or an i, and I would argue a native speaker would lean heavily towards e as a first guess. There is no way that it starts with a, o, or u for example. That’s hardly “every vowel”. It’s at most 2 vowels and most people would have better than even odds if they heard epitome pronounced correctly.
English spelling is mostly consistent other than words from other languages, especially Welsh and Gaelic. There’s the small hiccup with the aristocrats that latinized some words too.
