As much as we enjoy our convenient, “advanced” technologies nowadays, we shouldn’t just continue without thinking of consequences. The consequences can be huge and affect our lives. Taking a step backwards in development like giving up driving cars and other “conveniences” carrying a fully packed carbon emissions heavy rucksack will be a pain for us, who know what life looked like without coping with the huge consequences that will take action in years from now.

You are not alone… Confusion rules over English as a rule in terms of vocabulary, phrasal verbs and so on. We know that. Being an English as a Second Languagespeaker I am more than familiar - compellingly - with the phonetic unreliability as The Guardian describes the messed up pronunciation and spelling relation of English words. If you know how to pronounce a word in - say - Italian, you automatically can construct the word’s spelling for there are clear rules. This rule does apply for many languages, but English does not feature this consistency as a world language. Unfortunately this gives English speakers (both natives and ELS speakers) a really hard time. What do these 100 words have in common? Visible for you and you only, after the jump.
