I don't agree with you on the language issue, Dave. We use so many different sounds with our letters compared to, say a romance language (French, Spanish, Italian, etc.).

The only European language I've heard that is harder than English is Finnish (which is a Ural-Altaic language)...apparently, if you don't learn it growing up, you'll never quite get it.
