I seem to remember that German had a great vowel shift at some point; I wonder if all languages do?
Thanks for posting, enjoyed the video.
The famous example of crazy english spelling is of course ghotti, but i never thought about –ough before.
As much as learning german can be at times extremely extremely disheartening i am very glad that the spelling is pretty much standardised ( in as much as if you know who its pronounced you know how its spelt 99.9% of the time. )
