So we can blame the French for our irregular spelling?
Germans have it so much easier.

Grammatical gender is indeed silly, though the cases would be easier if we thought the English ones.
But German spelling is very, very regular; if a word is spoken clearly you rarely have any trouble spelling it. E.g I can’t quite remember exactly what “Aktiengesellschaft” means but spelling it is a piece of piss.

gemans don't leave spaces between words because that would allow someone else to put their towel down

Not once have I ever needed to describe that a monkey was in a tree eating a banana since I left school.
