English: The Language That Makes Zero Logical Sense

It’s the 2nd most spoken language in the world, with nearly a billion people speaking English worldwide, but it is also the oddest language out there.

First of all, there are words that sound exactly alike but are spelled differently and have their own meanings. For example — their, there, they’re. Or to, too, two. These are called Homonyms and there is NO REASON FOR THEM!

i’m actually begging you please just go on google and learn the difference between there, their and they’re it’s completely free

You don’t realize how STUPID English is until you’re trying to explain things like this to your 7 year old kid pic.twitter.com/tUXZHxPniS

And can some scholar please explain to all of us why COUGH, ROUGH, THOUGH, AND THROUGH don’t rhyme yet BOLOGNA and PONY do?!

Oh yeah, and then there’s that whole “i before e” thing…

i before e, right?
Except when your foreign neighbor Keith received eight counterfeit beige sleighs from feisty caffeinated weightlifters… Weird.
