It’s a terrible disorganised mess, it’s inconsistent, it makes very little objective sense, but for some reason we seem to have settled on it as the default.
you are perfectly describing js
Just wait 'til you learn about JavaScript!
It’s also easy to learn and ready-to-go on just about every shared hosting package on offer.
English is easy to learn?
Yes.
I have been learning English for decades and I still suck at it.
It is as the OP says “a terrible disorganised mess, it’s inconsistent, it makes very little objective sense”

Not everyone has a knack for learning languages and it may vary depending on your native or other second languages you already know. But 1.5 billion people (the minority of them native speaker) manage it.

It does. But it don’t think it’s true for English or PHP.
Did you find English easy to learn? What is your native language?
Easy. Lithuanian.
Yes. German.
English and German are both Germanic languages, they have a lot of similarities making it easier for you to learn.
My native language is very different, I guess that makes it much harder for me to learn English. And the terrible disorganised mess doesn’t help.
I see how you could draw that conclusion, but it’s definitely far from the default

I think you mean it’s the US English.
English English, the English I speak, isn’t much better.
Sorry, when you said English and default I just assumed you were full colonial, and thought you meant simplified English, not British.
Briton can’t even decide on whether to pronounce all the R’s or not.
Such as? We can pronounce “mirror” perfectly well.
Does herb start with an e?
What of it?
All I’m saying is that British English is just as much as a mess as everywhere else. In fact, a lot of the mess is concentrated on those little islands.
