What about similar oddities in English?

Edit: it's to its in the title. Damn autocorrect.
The comedic timing of this strip is actually really good.
You should wrede a book they wrote, and after you've wred the book, write your own.
I've never been a fan of read/read/red They're too popular to all be comingled like that.
Just place read/read with Peruse/Perused
Wind as in air moving and wind as in a pathway with twists and turns.
Read and readed
Words in which I can never remember h and g order:
Inconsistent pronunciation of "ae"
And many more...
Words that produce the same sounds should have same spelling. Read in past tense and red is the same sound, so why isn't past tense of read - red?
Why most 'c' in words produce 'k' sounds?
Car and kar also produce the same sounds, so why C instead of K?
Read should be said "read" and read read. Read, on the other hand, I would leave as is.
Looking up the etymology is often helpful in theoretical discussions about pronunciation and spelling :)
"well" is a noun, a verb, an adjective, an adverb and an interjection
English has so much of this sort of nonsense. Like the fish can be spelled ghoti thing.
We should be consistent and say "readed". While we're on the subject, why isn't the past tense of go "goed"?
Read and Reddit
Façade is written using a letter that doesn't appear in English language keyboards (or in any other English word that I'm aware of).
Are reed and red taken?
its, not it's.
Put: "hold my beer"
