Who the hell came up with modern english?

Ok so its "i" before "e" like 80% of the time.

But sometimes there a silent "gh" in the middle of a word but you dont pronounce it. Just know its there.

Some words ends with te or et but you only sometimes pronounce it cause it could be french.

The double "v" is actually a double "u" so it makes a "wuh" sound.

So there you go. Your educated. But the "d" in educate makes the "j" sound. But only for this one word...
