A lot of that is because english shameless steals interesting words
from any other language where they happen to occur.  Whether or not
they obey the rules from the original language.  So after you've
imported both rule-following and exceptional words from a dozen
languages, and applied some fraction of english rules to the results,
it's not surprising that the result is a mess.
