Just like how there is there, their, they're. The english language is sure tough. If you think about it, when they tell you follow the rules of grammar, they themselves break them.  Like how the word "enough" is pronounced enouf and in the word "through"  the "ph" is silent. The english language is complex and this leaves millions of people who speak english as a second language baffled. SO getting straight to the point, english is an international language, and it has outside influences. However, I still love this complex language.

One of my favorite examples of the oddness of English is:
"fish" can actually be spelled "ghoti" and be perfectly correct.
Just say "gh" like you do in "enough," "o" like you do in "women," and "ti" like you do in "nation."
