<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 7847829, member: 27832&quot;]English spelling is a <i>terrible</i> waste of human potential. If you&#039;ve got the grammar and spelling knack, bully for you. If you don&#039;t, the very idea of &quot;rules&quot; is a cruel joke.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had my eyes opened when I studied German in high school. &quot;You mean... you can just look at a word&#039;s <i>spelling</i>, and be <i>sure</i> how it&#039;s pronounced? And you can almost always <i>listen</i> to a word and <i>know how it&#039;s spelled</i>?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>And then there&#039;s French, on which I blame the majority of English spelling&#039;s ills.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
