It would be so much easier if we had accents over our vowels, like in a lot of languages to indicate which of that vowels sounds was wanted.

English used to be phonetic, it’s just people started changing the way they pronounced vowels, but the spelling stayed the same. For example, both the k and the gh in “knight” used to be pronounced.
