    It doesn’t work all the time. English is full of nonsense like that. People always only remember half of this rule though.

      Because English is three languages in a trench coat.

        False. It’s the runoff of a language-rich neighborhood. Stewing in a ditch filled with what looks like mud but smells like a dead family of possums at the bottom of a park trash can.

        Also funnily enough, it’s arguably the most representative of the Germanic languages as a whole. It started out as a form of Central Germanic. Then during the Viking Age it was heavily influencd by a Northern Germanic language, Old Norse.

        Even the French influence is a very specific variety of French, since the Normans were actually descended from Vikings
