American English tends towards a more simplistic spelling style, but there's still relics of consonants never pronounced (knives with the silent K and gnats with a silent G) and then words borrowed from other languages where the foreign pronunciation is adopted by some.
Plus, you guys say "yuman" and "erbal" and "yumanity" rather than pronouncing the H like normal people. That weirds me out...
