I more or less agree, but you keep using "believe" when you ought to use "belief." Just FYI.

    Even more material for the "words you have been using wrong" thread.

    English is an endless deluge of that experience, because our orthography is bullshit. People have tried to fix it. Their clever rules were partly adopted and became even more exceptions and special cases.

    Yep.

    I just learned of the Shavian Alphabet yesterday. It's designed specifically for English and fits it well, except the sounds in it are so specific that when you write in it, you have to write in a specific regional accent. Fortunately it can't become a new set of special cases because it's an entirely new script not related to Latin.
