A Troubled Marriage Between A Skeptic and an Ascetic, or, The Oddest English Spellings

Confusing as English spelling may be, it has one well-publicized, even if questionable, merit: it tells us something about the history of the language. For example, sea and see were indeed pronounced differently in the past.
