And I should know since I am not a native speaker. While it is true that English is the most spoken language in the world, there are many parts of the language that are just plain weird. From words with the same spelling not sounding similar to words with different spelling pronounced the exact same way.
I started learning English when I was a kid and I hated all the grammar rules and that there were so many words that weren’t pronounced the same as their spelling. That is why today we are paying homage to the English language all of it’s f**kery. So scroll on below and take a look.
While most of these do seem to be the highest level of f**ckey, usually people don’t use these in normal day to day conversation. And although we love to dump on the English language it is much easier than many languages out there like Mandarin Chinese or Arabic.
The English language can mess up one’s head completely when they are trying to learn the basics. With practice, it is somewhat ‘easy’ to speak, read, and write like a native speaker but it will make you want to scream at times.
#18 Huh, I never thought of it this way but that is true.
