I totally dig how 102-year-old Ed Rondhaller spells out the inconsistencies of the English language. The video reminded me of Gallagher's comedy routine, "Messing with Your Mind". English and the inconsistent rules that accompany its pronunciation make it one of the most difficult second languages to learn. The inconsistencies of the language is one of the most common complaints faced by ESL teachers from students in their first attempt to learn the language.
