Because some dude or gal somewhere some time ago thought it would be funny that generations to come would need to learn irregular forms of some random words! Why would grammar rules apply all the same to all the words, not that logical is it? /s
- wtetzner 8y agoEnglish is made up of words from many other languages. It only got a set of rules after the fact, which is why there are so many exceptions.
- konart 8y ago> so many exceptions. You know nothing, Jonh Snow (seriously though, from a russian point of view English has very few of them)
- CrystalLangUser 8y agoThat is not in any shape or fashion how languages are made. Language will never be logical, because humans are not logical.
- sverige 8y agoMany years ago, one of my Russian professors said, "All languages are about 85% logical and 15% illogical. That's how you know humans made them." P.S. Russian is much easier to spell than English, but its verbs of motion are a real clusterfuck. P.P.S. I have met more than one Russian who said, "Only foreigners decline numbers correctly."
