How the fuck do "bastard", "nerd", "bird", "word", "turd", heard" and "plastered" all rhyme, despite being spelt so differently?
English is a good language man, but how come the spellings of some words are so bad? They're SOOO bad. So in this video, I quickly go over some random examples that came to mind.

Why English?
Live - Live concert, Live long
The reason why English is such a mess is because it's the product of a crapton of other languages (mostly stemming from Ancient Greek/Latin/Roman) all combined
"The spellings that we use in English are centuries old and were never updated, unfortunately."
"Daa spehllingz deht vee yuuz in english r sanch-ah-reez ohld and var nehvar ap-dated, anforchunately.
Aren't Latin and Roman the same thing-?
@@seggstun7027 No
no actually most of the mess stems from old english and french + vowel shift between 1400 and 1700. First the normans came in, brought many french words into the language and changed some spelling of the old english (germanic) words. Then there was the great vowel shift that changed the way english words were pronounced.
English spelling was never adapted afterwards, they never conducted a spelling reform wich leads to this hotch potch of different rules.
4:56: The word “White” still has “ite”, it just has a dumb silent H
H has a crush on so many letters.
Pie isn’t pie without cool hwip!

@@ToddKeck98 Yeah but it's spelled differently. In American English it's spelled "centered" but in British English it's spelled "centred"
British english is English lmao
This is what happens when your language basically just steals from every other language.
I'm Happily In Pain same? Wtf do u mean
We all copied from Greek and latin
No. That happens when your "language specialists" don't care about pronunciation, and they only care about "let's spell CAR with C, so people may know it comes from Latin CARRUS; and let's spell KID with K, so people may know it comes from Germanic KITH." Who fcking cares?! "AAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAnD let's spell KNOT with K in the beginning, so people may know 1000 years ago it was pronounced with K in the beginning and now it's not."
@@Halera- English is still pretty well spelt the way it was in the 16th century, that's where a lot of our problems come from. The Great Vowel Shift isn't really accounted for, and words like laughter, and daughter still have the vestigial gh that used to be that guttural sound like you have in Dutch or Low German. This is made worse too by the fact English is basically a West German language trying to sound smart by using French/Latin words at this point
Amen
And imagine learning english as a language in school instead of having it as your mothertongue. Just the last three words he showed can kill your grade in exams.
well it's actually pretty easy to learn how to spell english words and how to pronounce them (when you are a native speaker you know how to speak before you know how to write and read but when you learn a language you see written words and listen how they're pronounced) like i would say it's harder to pronounce words correctly because we don't have as many sounds as english does like "th" or all those different vowels. to many non native speakers "boss" and "bus" sound the same, "look" and "luke" sound the same etc.
@@craftah There are languages besides English that have the TH sound like Arabic, Albanian, Swahili, Greek, Icelandic, and standard European Spanish( where the TH sound in that variety of Spanish is represented by the letters Z and C(but only if it is next to an E or I)). But generally, it is a rare sound that only appears in 7% of the world's languages.

Because we don't pronUnce words
Queue is the worst word
It is pronounced q
Qu-"K" sound
Eue-"Yoo" sound
Na Zhao in no way shape or form does "qu" make a "K" sound
Lydendor1 It does in French, where this word originates.
Lps cat101 no bologna is the worst
Lingerie
Grade, how could you completely leave out the word queue, it's just the letter Q with 4 silent letters...
hahaha
KobraNejc 420 their is also a musical cue, which can be used like 'That's my cue!' And a pool cue ('He smacked him with an old wooden cue'). But more importantly, the word read. Two pronunciations. _TWO_. What the fuck English, what the actual fuck.
They're waiting in line
KobraNejc 420 it's because of french I think
Pretty sure Queue is of French origin.

"This country is called the Philippines...
But someone from there is called a Filipino.
WHAT."
Exactly, confusing af. Sometimes I just spell it as Pilipino instead.
Bianca Di Angelo on the TØP dude what pilipino sounds nothing like philippines and plus filipino looks way better the philipinos
So does that make the citizens of Philadelphia called Filadelphians?
Bianca Di Angelo on the TØP its funny cause thats in our accent
As a Filipino dude, I can probably say its because in our national alphabet, we dont have a P and an H, we also dont have a bunch of letters, but you can google that yourself.... hope that cleared something up!
I think Pilipino in English is Filipino

"When I was in 6th grade I was finalist in our school spelling bee. It was me against Raj Patel, and I mispelled in front of the entire school, the word failure." - Dwight K Schrute
Why? Primarily due to the incorporation of british isle languages, the original subjugation by the Normans, the introduction of latin styled (old French) language in an emerging upper class, and various encounters with foreign languages in the old British empire. English is probably the most changed language in history, due to meddling from so many other nations. It had as much structure as any other language a few centuries before all that. The flip side is that it has turned English into possibly the most colorful and robust language on the planet, just due to it having so many pointless words, seemingly meaningless sayings and borrowed terms/phrases, as well as ways of creating poetic meaning by utilizing all of it.
Why am I not surprised that you watch this channel?

PlagueOfGripes additionally many words that derive from other languages in their native tongue has some sort of indicator when a word uses a certain pronunciation or form. English likes to remove those most likely to avoid any confusion in the English Alphabet and/or just plain laziness.

Eight different ways to pronounce "ough".
You did it you crazy son of a bitch you did it
I dont even know how to pronounce some of these
i’m now imagining this in a Michaela Laws voice
GH in though = F sound
O in women = E/I sound
TI in exponentionally = SH sound
which means that GHOTI can be pronounced like fish
or alternatively that fish can be spelled ghoti
The GH in though doesn't sound like F at all. It is more of a W sound
O in women is ooh. So it is more woomen.
That One Person In laughter, GH is pronounced as and 'f'
Enou *gh* = Enouf
W *o* men = Wimen
Na *ti* on = Nashon
*Ghoti* = fish.
Gh sounds like o

We Filipinos don't even know why we start with the letter F, despite the fact that we don't have that letter in our Filipino Alphabet. Americans?
I am not American, but I will still answer the question. Your nationality name (Filipinos) comes from the english word for your country, Philippines (Ph got simplified to F, since they are the same sound, and one P was dropped). Philippines comes from a Greek first name, Philippos, which literally means "the one who likes horses"
Actually, I made a mistake, the name Filipinos comes directly from a spanish ruler named Felipe or something (thus Filipinos is not a direct derivative from the country's name), whose name and the name Philippines both derive from the Greek name I mentioned before
Cyber Wasp lol, we know that tho cuz of our history class (Araling Panlipunan). But Felipe could’ve been “Filipinnes”...

6 different spellings for urd?
Japanese has like, 6 different ways to say "I"
6 different ways.... for I of all things
And then there's the Kanji... over 5,000 different chinese letters which- *brain explodes*
And It's based on context. Also the Japanese language has multiple ways of counting, some of which even Fluent/Native Japanese speakers don't know.
StalkerZHS being Japanese, the different ways to say "I" aren't a problem whatsoever. I do agree with Kanji though hahaha
it depends on gender too
iirc 僕 (boku) is a more mascular (and formal) way to address yourself compared to 私 (watashi)

Starting in 2nd grade and until 5th grade, I had to do spelling tests every week. And if you even got ONE word wrong, you had to do extra homework.
I AM NOT KIDDING.
Timothy Harris No, just the schools.
I'm pretty sure the teachers questioned it, too.
But my Image Editing teacher is a tight-ass, lol
WalkingWITL Excessively, rather
MesprittheDigimon SAMEE
MesprittheDigimon my school did that too! And when I finally hit middle school, it was that year that my 6th grade English teacher continued the spelling tests, but at least it was only once every other week
MesprittheDigimon WHYYYYYY?????
Fuck the word "Wednesday" why is there a D when it's silent? It legit serves no purpose
Yeah, It should be "Wensday"
***** Which is why we should either change the spelling or start pronouncing things like it was back in Ænglisc times.
ToxinStorm the D in Wednesday isnt silent, u actually have to pronounce it
HAHA HAHAHAHAHA very fucking funny
Pineapple Beats You used to, now it's /ˈwɛnzdeɪ/
Here in China, we gave up spelling a few millennia ago and just had FUCKING RANDOM ASS SCRIBBLES AND SHIT FOR EACH FUCKING WORD.
LOOOOOOL
Potato we had to borrow shit from you fuckers lol, don't know why we don't use romaji for everything.
Potato They really aren't that random if you study them.
They're actually not random. They're amalgamations of various other characters that contribute to the meaning. The only problem is, most of the Classical Chinese characters come from Middle Mandarin, so they're not pronounced like what they're supposed to be.
Potato lol
7:28 One of the greatest ways to talk back to teacher, enough said 😭😂🤣
*the entire comment section turns into english majors with 3 different gammer degrees*
Carlton Thomas *grammar
Carlton Thomas hah
+Joey Romo i think you just got baited mate
*Grammar*
*The entire comment section has transformed into a stunning scene where an overwhelming amount of individuals who major in grammar correctly educate other, less fortunate individuals, and have even dedicated an extra 12 years each to their craft.
in finland you say things just like you writem em and we can take whole bunch of worlds and make it a one world

I love how impatient people can be for their FREE content...
Except if you say it's coming out on a certain date, and it doesn't come out on that date, people have a fair reason to being upset.
It's like if you told your boss "Hey boss, you know that work assignment for next week? I finished it! I'll bring it tomorrow." And then on the next day your boss comes to check and you answer "Oh it's not done yet."
Except Grade is kinda his own fucking boss.
Why make promises you can't fucking keep? Just say "oh, it's coming out sometime this week" instead of "Oh it's coming out this Wednesday!"
jpkurihara Why does it matter so much to you? It's a god damned video... Yes, GradeA is HIS one boss, not you or anyone else in this comment section. Which means, if he has to delay the video, then that's his choice. He has to write a script, edit it, and make sure his information is factual while funny at the same time. All you have to do is... WAIT! Are you that impatient and entitled, that you can't do that one simple thing?
Stephon Zeno Why does it matter so much to you that people are fairly criticizing him for not being able to keep his own promises? Like I said, don't specify a fucking timeframe. That way people will not be able to complain that you delayed your video. It's not complicated logic.
jpkurihara Well, I don't think it's fair that people are giving him shit because he's a day or two late with a video. Yes, he shouldn't say he'll have a video out on a certain day and not have it out on that day. However, I'm not going to hate gradeA if he doesn't have it out, knowing that he most likely has other obligations outside of pumping out videos. I'd rather have him take his time and make a video of quality, than having him rush out some half-assed piece of shit. That's my problem with his fans! They can't be patient! Again, do you guys seriously not have anything else to worry about then when some guy on youtube uploads a video!?
Stephon Zeno you don't seem content with this content
As they always say,
You can’t spell “Slaughter without Laughter”
Etymology is the reason behind English's nonphonetic spelling. It's definitely understandable why English is problematic for some to learn: There's little to no spelling consistency, and the spelling was fixed around the time pronunciation started shifting.
That said, great video. It was pretty fucking hilarious.
Kyuzeth the Grand - Seems to me like your well educated. If you don't mind I have a question. What benefits does English spelling have over all other languages? With English being one of, if not the hardest language to learn/spell/speak, Due to a mix of French and new English? I've assumed because of this, speaking/spelling English Basically allows us to speak with a more complex vocabulary, as well as allow us to say more in less words. Example is, English to Spanish. (Spanish takes forever to say something and they are speaking really fast.) Or is English just more complex for no reason? Cheers!

I'm in my third year of Applied Linguistics and have researched a few linguistic phenomena. Anyway, to answer your questions:
- English spelling really has no benefits over any other. In fact, the nonphonetic nature of the English language greatly complicates matters, especially when compared to the much more phonetic West Germanic languages German and Dutch.
- This nonphonetic nature is due to the influence of French following the 1066 Norman invasion, when French became the main language of the country for a good few centuries. The influence not only introduced new words, but also changed the English sentence structure, which used to be like that of German and Dutch. However, the countless French influences have left English as some sort of mixture between Romance and Germanic languages.
- Every language is equally complex. The differences just don't always show on the surface. Compounding, for example, may be the reason why Romance languages (e.g. French and Spanish) seem more long-winded. A field where English is noticeably less complex is verb conjugation, as there are structurally far fewer forms than other European languages (compare to the likes of French and German with their more elaborate verb conjugation patterns).
In the end, complexity is equal in all languages; English, for example, shows greater complexity in its phonetics compared to its fellow West Germanic languages, but has noticeably less complex verb conjugation. I hope I've been able to help; feel free to keep asking anything you need more information about, and have a great day.

Ah, spelling reforms. They have been attempted for English, though American English has only brought in the changes we now know from British English. However, attempting one is always risky. I do not support radical reforms in spelling, mainly since all language naturally evolves to more simpler stages.
*****
The problem is that English is such a widely-spoken language among such a large age demographic that a radical reform will be met with huge protest from many corners of the Anglophone world.
*****
With radical, I imply a very sudden and drastical change in spelling. Gradual approaches would be accepted more, but again, the problem is that English is extremely widespread nowadays. That, and the world will always know conservatives opposing everything reminiscent of reform.
Ok, I don't understand why Grade is complaining about English, when he speaks British
.
Are you serious...?
AwesomestOfAwesome are u fucking serious?😂 that's like saying people in Mexico speak Mexican
AwesomestOfAwesome Are you dumb? There is no "British" language". He is speaking English ya bum chum
AwesomestOfAwesome are you kidding?
English is made up of a bunch a different languages, and the words have distinct origins.
Mostly French and German, also a bit of Latin.
+Christopher Winne french is mostly made out of latin grammar and words
Christopher Winne It's more made of Latin than anything else. Certainly not german.
Der Vadim it's a germanic language
Ahmed Elyamani Germanic, not german
Bro I’m rewatching this in 2021. Lol
