Hi ETNIers:

I thank you for the most interesting responses to my recent query regarding 
the inconsistencies in the English language.

However, I am still curious to know whether students learning the English 
language are at all discouraged, once they become aware of the many 
inconsistencies in the pronunciation of the language.

Also, I was wondering whether there are any examples at all in the Hebrew 
language of similar inconsistencies.

I enclose some of the more interesting responses that I received. However, 
let me add a warning. It will take you a long time to read all the poems. So 
you have hereby been warned...
