Far from “stupidity” it’s called RICHNESS of the English language. English has borrowed from many languages, that is why it is such a robust language. There are many more nuances and choices to be had in English than in any other language. If the orthography can be difficult, so be it. You’re welcome to Spanish. No thanks. Not now, not ever.

I guess you're proud that English speakers have one of the highest rates of functional illiteracy in the world? Or that English speakers have the largest number of dyslexics? And if you really cared about richness, why don't you use the Old or Middle English spellings of words today?

I’m just proud that in no accent of the English language, does one sound light in the loafers, like the Spaniards do with their lisping “th” for “s.” As for illiterates, that’s THEIR problem.
