Why English is Crazy and So Tricky to Explain....

  • Because "mature" is not pronounced like "nature"
  • "Busy" is pronounced "/bizzy/"
  • Because words like "honor" and "homage" have a silent 'h', but "home" and "hold" don't.
  • "I", "eye", "ay"
  • There, their, they're
  • and why on earth are there so many ways to spell ketchup?
I'm just glad this is my first language.
