For those of you who might be wondering why you have such difficulties
spelling correctly, I have finally found the answer:
"English doesn't borrow from other languages - English follows other
languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their
pockets for loose grammar. " (author unknown)
There are very few words in the English language that are actually
English -- the rest are Latin, Greek, French, and German. It's
no wonder we're all so confused.
