The Absurdities of The English Language

English is a funny language and exceptionally absurd,
It has its own absurdities,
when it comes to the written and  spoken word.

So the English alphabet consists of five vowels,
that's A, E, I, O, U
But it's also proved that "H" and "Y" are consonants 
and it seems vowels too.

So you use "An" before a word starting with a vowel,
but not always you see.
Cause' you put an "A" before " Unicorn" or "Useless"
and " An" before " Hour" or " Umbrella"
that's what completely baffles me!

But besides these baffling vowels,
some words are pronounced illogically 
where pronunciation of " S" and " F" take precedence,
though " Psychiatrist", " Psychology"  and " Physics",
start with a capital "P"!

The English language is expanding,
new words are added to dictionaries every year.
There's new additions " Gassed" slang for drunk,
and the notoriously famous " Sexting" and " F-Bomb"
added to Mirriam Webster.

But frankly I feel, with words like these,
The Queen's English is going down the drain.
I'm sure the literary greats must be turning in their graves,
poor Shakespeare, Dickens, Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain.
