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

But having the shittiest spelling, that’s the true crime> The lost syllables at the end of spoken French would like to have a word… Ideally a complete finished one, but we know that’s not possible

  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
