It is a well-known fact that English spelling does not always indicate how
an English word should be pronounced. There is, no one to one correspondence
between the letters of the Roman alphabet and the sounds of English. While
English language has 44 sounds, the alphabet has only 26 letters. So the
alphabet is overburdened. These two factors result in a good deal of confusion:
