things you find dumb about your first language

[Crazynoob458]

the other varient of the word "you" sounds like the n-word

Modern English is just a mess. Anglo-Saxon was way better. Let's just speak Latin, way more structured.

Oh my god. English.

Affect and Effect are pronounced virtually the same in most dialects so we always speak it right but remembering which one to use is a pain
We have words spelled the same, pronounced the same, but mean different things
We have words spelled the same, pronounced differently, that mean different things
Some words defy what letters are supposed to sound like (Epitome, Colonel, Chaos...)
Stressed/Screeched are both one syllable and I don't really have a problem with that, it's just painful to accept that
I'm missing stuff. This language is flawed

I would say most of the languages have the same issue. In the end, it's all a matter of context, isn't it?

But there's always room for misinterpretations. hahaha
