What is the best example of English being an impossible language?

The word EVERYONE contained three E’s, but it is the Y that sounds like the letter E.

One of my ESL students asked me how/when to use ‘just’ and after filling the whiteboard with definitions and situations I had thoroughly confused the class as well as myself.

“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” is a grammatically correct sentence.

I feel for people trying to learn it.

Then/than

To/too

Your/you’re

English speakers can’t even get these right.

AND words that mean past or present based on the context of the sentence…

Like “Read.”

“I read.”

That’s hard to learn.

“Yes, English can be weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.”
