English is not "non-phonetic," exactly. No alphabetic language is. But since the pronunciation of English words has changed more than once since correct spelling was established, English orthography often reflects the way words used to sound instead of the way they do sound. We used to pronounce the K in knife, for example, and in French they still do: canif.
Sometimes silent letters such as the T in often or the P in comptroller may be erroneously added to words by eagerly over-educated schoolmarms, either by analogy or false etymology. These are the same people who taught us that "aren't I" is better English than "ain't I."
The seeming chaos of English spelling benefits the language. It helps readers distinguish between homonyms like might and mite; it helps scholars trace the history of words; and it is a beautiful part of the limitless variety of English expression.
English is a nonphonetic language because there is no direct and invariable relationship between the way words are spelled and how they are pronounced.
