Noone should have respect for English. English does not even respect itself by having consistent grammatical rules or by having a distinction between the letters “C” and “K”

Probably none natural languages have fully consistent grammatical rules, so English is not that special here. But having the shittiest spelling, that's the true crime

What would be a good argument but... Like about a third of English is literally French with a lot French spelling rules (including silent e at the end, for example) which other two thirds don't use. At least in French, French rules work for all its words
