Because English is a historical palimpsest: Norman French reshaped the vocabulary after 1066, while the Great Vowel Shift changed pronunciation without a matching spelling reset. “Tomb,” “bomb,” and “comb” preserve different layers of that process—medieval borrowing, sound change, and stubborn orthography.

Não e verdade. O português é pior... Por exemplo o japonês disse que não existe a palavra kú, no dialeto deles. Eles falam: "Bund@ suja". Kkkkkkkk

I kept marking the prior swing before writing a new idea in my routine because the context was useful.
