Best Answer

Many of your assumptions about English are just plain wrong.

"Weekend" does not mean the same as "fin de semaine."

So the French people despite threats from the French language academy still use "weekend."

England was conquered by Normans from France in 1066. Latin based words came into English

through French.

In 1066, what science was there ?

English spelling has never been regular.

The most common words are irregular.

be/am/is/are, was/were, been

English is the language of science precisely because English has such a variety of words.

English has the largest vocabulary of any language.

Sailing, shipping and navigation do not mean the same thing.
