You'll usually find your answer there.
What's (not “whats”) the rule?
While you may reasonably ask why words are spelled the way they're spelled, it makes no sense to ask why they're pronounced the way they're pronounced.
I want to have anal sex, but my wife refuses. What do I do?
Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.

Back in the day (circa 1300), it was written <plesen>.
What is the worst name in Tolkien’s legendarium (meaning and look)?
Whence the <ea> I cannot say but some other words that were spelled <ai> in French are spelled <ea> in English: aise → ease, graisse → grease, fait → feat.
There's no rule.
Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.

Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.
