ENGLISH IS LUDICROUS

It is one of the most difficult languages on the planet, primarily because of widespread inconsistencies.  Most languages have irregular structures, but English takes ridiculous rules to new heights of absurdity. And some malcontents and fearmongers (is it little Ronnie Putz?) have the gall to insist that it is the "official" language of the state and country.

Most of my beefs are with inconsistent pronunciation and/or spelling.  This is the area where our children have become "PHUCKED BY PHONICS."  For openers, consider the following simple words which all have the same basic vowel sound. Is this spelling inconsistent or what ??

        ay aye
      buy by bye
  die       dye
  fie        
      guy    
hi   high    

 

  lie       lye
        my  
    nigh      
pi pie        
          rye
    sigh      
  tie        

 

Is this a ploy by English teachers to maximize their job security? How do we fix this and make English a workable language?

Another "favorite" is the pronunciation of the vowel sound "oo".  What is the motivation to have three distinct sounds for this?  What are the rules, and who sets them?

foot food dude root do door
good hoot rude cool to bore
hood boot nude pool too gore
soot coot prude doom tune whore
wood loot lewd room 'toon lore
cook moot lute poor dew more
woof pooh dupe moor   nor
wool root wooed boor   roar
book toot duke soon   soar
look mood dune     tore
hook boob rune     wore
          war
          four
