  • The plural of radius is radii; larva, larvae; criterion, criteria.

    Façade is written with a letter that doesn’t exist in the English alphabet.

    Fiancé and fiancée are written using diacritics, something that isn’t supposed to happen in English orthography (inasmuch as English orthography might exist).

    There’s at least five different ways to pronounce the digraph oo, with no indication of which to use in each case, you just have to remember it.

    And I could keep listing similar nonsense, but I think I’ve made my point.

    Do not try to make sense of the English language. Therein lies madness.

    Cats are definitely evil. Adorably so, sure, yet evil nonetheless.

    Dolphins, too. Cruel, rapey bastards, the lot of them. Orcas in particular probably enjoy killing and hurting their prey almost as much as cats.

    Most birds are evil in a stupid birdbrained sort of way, even the smart ones. Should’ve gone extinct sixty-five million years ago with the rest of the dinosaurs, the bastards.

    Chimpanzees are almost as creepily evil as humans (not bonobos, though; they just want to get along and fuck as much as possible).

    And then there’s us.
