re: #156 SanFranciscoZionist

We have twenty-six letters and no accent marks at all! We force the Latin alphabet to do crap it never thought was possible! We use the same bizarre combinations of letters to spell four or five different sounds!

(English is language of great enthusiasm and little planning.)

English is a language that waits in a dark alley and mugs other languages for words and then spells them like an old saxon skald on acid.
