>An excerpt from the poem "Chaos" by Gerald Nolst Trenite -- who was a Dutch observer of English.

My take on the subject is partially in the link I posted in response to Hilmar.

The obvious reason why you sent this to me is that I've often expressed my confusion with English, to the point that after 38 years since I reached conversational level, I had to conclude that the more I know, the less I know. I don't know if "exit" is pronounced "eksit" or "egzit", don't know anymore where to put the emphasis (formerly known as accent, but that word now means a decorative detail and refuses to be tied to grammar), and maybe spelling is the last thing I'm somewhat sure of. Check this list, compiled mostly here, but also elsewhere on the Web, letters D to F, and see if any of these is actually correct:
