English is the most awkward language. There are so many awkward exceptions to those awkward rules its just really awkward. There is no I in team, but there is an I in pie, and there is an I in meatPie, and the reverse of meat is team.
LOL, Wut? How 'bout the fact that we can relate things to another, like that. Or, racecar is spellled racecar backwards, and not at the same time...
