Why do irregular words exist?
The English language is a mixture of influences, and over time, some words have changed their forms differently than others. This can be due to:
* Historical changes: Words have changed their pronunciation and spelling over centuries.
* Influence from other languages: English has borrowed words from many other languages, and some of these words retain their original forms.
* Idiosyncrasies: Some words have simply become "fixed" in their irregular forms through usage.
