Like y r there so many weird rules which aren't seen in other languages, and there's so many 'exceptions'. No wonder non-native speakers always get confused.
True but there is also silent letters in arabic though far less common
Well idk
Probably bc people can understand eachother better
I've seen how English is so similar to french, it borrows so much
And just random words, read and read is said differently
I guess its to imrpovement
Or something
Idk why we stole words
But like
Plane and plain is said the same but is diff
I see my country
Has so many stolen words
Y is it fish for plural and singular instead of fishes
Fr
It is very confusing indeed
'I before e except after c' what's that logic?
Whats that
It's some english phonics thing I was taught as a kid to spell out English words
Ohhh
I see
Fair enough
Well what dont u like about stolen english
Words
In ur country or
Other countries
I think Arabic has more of a system, English is more random
It's not that I don't like them, it's more how confusing it can be with random rules and no set structure (from what ik of)
Oh i see
Well thats valid
Ye it can be confusing
Esp now
I tried my best fr
I wonder what else i can say
Maybe Ill think of it later
