  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

sure, how complex is: their, there, they’re. sure, they sound the same but there is no reason they’re difficult to use in their intended purpose.

English grammar is alright as far as languages are concerned. There is some bs but nothing exceptional.

Pronounciation in the English language on the other hand is absolute insanity. If there are any rules besides grouped up exceptions then let me know.

As far as I know the only rule is, that I (German) pronounce it always wrong.

I have the same rule for Gaelic.
