  The most logical aspect of English is the pronounciation.

  For example, how do you pronounce the word "read"? Impossible to say all
by itself. It depends on the context. (Or, more precisely, it depends on the
tense of said verb, both present and past tenses being written identically
but pronounced differently.)

  In Finnish, at least, you know how a word is pronounced, regardless of
context. This even in the case that you have never heard or seen that word
before in your life, nor know what it means.
