Perhaps people put some thought into it when they were creating the Dutch language.
English, especially the kind spoken in the USA, is a butchered hodgepodge of all kind of various languages, themselves butchered hodgepodges of other more ancient languages. And some of the more advanced words, which I sometimes cannot understand from context, I have to look up.
Example; made up word.
"On the table there was a snarfledingle. It was perhaps the most unusual one I've ever seen."
I'd pull a dictionary for that one.
