Oh, I know the English rules very well, and those of French, and those of Dutch, and those of Portuguese, and those of German.

Of all the orthographies that I know, French and English are the dumbest by far, because they are the most conservative. It's not because you struggled to learn that you should feel superior to others. Pride in a dumb orthographic system can only be understood through elitism.
