wtf English

Laid is pronounced like paid but not said and said is pronounced bread but not  bead and bead is pronounced like lead and not lead (English the lazy language!)
Lead rhymes with read and lead rhyme with read, but lead doesn't rhyme with read and lead doesn't rhyme with read?
comment from sock puppet
English isn't a language, it's a mugger that beats up good languages in dark alleys and takes their words.

if you replace the W in what when and what with T you get their answers
