back to my original point about English being a sucky language to read/write:
I cannot think of any German words, offhand, that I couldn't write
(aka 'spell') after hearing them gesprochen. Except maybe foreign
words.
I hate having to explain the retarded spelling of English words to my
daughter. She asks me "why" and I feel like telling her that Daniel
Webster was an idiot.
It's a wonder anyone ever learns to read or write in English.
