The Most Ridiculously Spelled Words in the English Language:

The Most Ridiculous Principles of the English Language:
That all plural forms of nouns don't follow the simple "add an S" rule ( shoe to shoes, but foot to feet?)
That a verb takes on an S to be singular except of course in the case of the pronoun I (he likes, I like)
That a verb drops the S to be singular when it is proceeded by a helping verb ( he doesn't like, he did like)
That I comes before E except after C except for words like neighbor, weird, weigh, eight, either, seize, foreign, etc....
That you can't have a verb in past tense form along with a helping verb in past tense form, making the "Be" verb the most confusing thing a kid has ever encountered (did run and ran, were running
That read and read are spelled the exact same way
That spoon is pronounced with a long O, while flood is pronounced with a short O
