@thor Well, Shakespeare was in the era that Old English got transitioned over to Modern English as we know today. Still blaming him, regardless!

And yeah, we're also largely phonetic-based with Dutch. Makes sense, y'know? Why spell a letter if you're not going to say it? Huh? Huhuh?

The British English often makes less sense than American English too. 'centre' vs 'center' for example. But then, why not spell 'littel' instead of 'little'?! Jeez.
