Haha that's funny. I've always thought about how tricky our language is... classic example I can think of is...
Who
Do
You
Zoo
Shoe
Sue
Flew
Coup
Queue
...as all the words rhyme but all are spelt differently. Anyways, good post. A tricky language indeed that i'm pretty sure none of us know how to use properly too heheh...

You think that's bad, those words rhyme but at least they are phonetically different.
Chinese on the otherhand, often called the #2 hardest language after English would have tons of words that all sound the same according to romanized phoenetics but could only be distinguished by tonal pitch emphasis and usage.
