Yes, the spelling is such that 'spelling homework' is totally necessary for children. In most languages they are spelled the way they sound. English spelling is a mess.

Irish Gaelic? Anybody's guess. They put in all these extra letters and then it only sounds like 2-3 of them out of the 7 letters in the word.

I disagree I think it makes English better. You can be very precise and have fun with swapping meanings for humour. But yes, it makes it very complicated !
BTW thanks for doo I didn't know that😀
