I blame the Vikings...

and the Celts. This whole English language thing is a mess. Just ask all the people that try to speak it.

1.456 Billion speakers on this planet would agree.
...and almost the same number have it as a second language.
Hell! even some Americans, speak it. (almost!)
And the Scots bless 'em, are trying really, really hard!
Cornish folk though, have never managed to grasp it.
