Agreed.

On the other hand, it shows how a primary language having very inconsistent&non-phonetic spelling completely fucks up the literacy average

One of my biggest English pet-peeves. The other is "living language" revisionists who argue that language should be allowed to evolve, thereby validating any faddish slang that's used; and so-called "dictionaries" like those hacks at Merriam-Webster who'll add anything to their English dictionary as long as one of their editors heard the word used in the radio once.

OED is the only English dictionary of any repute.
