How other nationalities cope with the ridiculous irregularities of the English language always amazes me, but not as much as our laziness as a nation in not bothering even to try to learn other people's. I suspect that if North America hadn't generally adopted a fork of English the boot might be on the other foot by now. But their variant(s) contain plenty of their own traps for the unwary.
