Word analysis... independence ...in dependence?

You sure understand how difficult it is for me. Added to that is pronunciation. Groan. I couldn't dare to talk to you all, fearing you all will laugh at my accent. You too have a good day Linda. :)

@vandana7 Thank you very much. I would never laugh at you that way. I might because I find your accent delightful.

Consider as well that sometimes similar spellings have different pronunciations. Choose is of course pronounced like chews, and chose is pronounced like those, but lose is pronounced like choose even though it's spelled like chose. House is pronounced like blouse but rouse is pronounced rooz. Snow is pronounced like no but plow is pronounced like how. Then there's I before E except after C, which actually is not true at all when you consider words like weird, heir, neighbor, freight and so on and so forth. The English language is not only complicated, but also intricate. Part of it MAY be that English is a bit of a hybrid of sorts of many different languages.

Even the tone change can change the meaning of a sentence. Sigh

How true. But let me give you an interesting example. Our language has a default addition of oo after words. So we use English words, and add oo to it, for locals to comprehend. Size becomes size oo, boat becomes boat oo. LOL Regional words are there, but most people are so accustomed to using the oo language now, few remember all original words. LOL
