>>Regarding languages; about 4 months ago I started learning French. I love learning it but it is very complicated; the spelling of the words has very little to do with how you pronounce them. So I say, wouldn't the world be better off if everybody spoke English?!

>PMFJI, but the spelling has everything to do with pronunciation. Once you learn the sounds for the letters, they piece together just as spelled, unlike English where we change everything based on some whim. In Spanish, a is always pronounced "ah", in German, a is pronounced the same, in French, the same, but in English in can be "ah", "ay", like the a in "at", etc. I found pronunciation in the 5 languages I've studies to be failry uniform except for English.

English is like a mongrel (it's got a little bit of a lot of different languages) that has undergone various mutations over time -- it may not be pretty (one of the more inconsistent languages when it comes to following rules -- the rule that seems to frequently apply is "there are exceptions"), but it does make up for it by being relatively robust stemming from adaptivity.
