English is a complex language, full of quirks and inconsistencies. Notable oddities include the unreliable “I before E” rule, specific adjective and adverb order, the confusing “ough” sound, and unique infixes for emphasis. The choice between “a” and “an” depends on sound, not spelling. Additionally, some nouns lack corresponding verbs, and the “th” sound is difficult for non-natives. Examples like “ghoti” spelling “fish” illustrate spelling irregularities and stress changes can alter meanings. Lastly, contronyms like “oversight” showcase words with opposing meanings. These complexities make English both challenging and delightful.
