It is because English has vowels, consonants and diphthongs which has several pronunciation, English has dozens of homographs, words which are spelt the same but are pronounced differently. Because the diphthong ea has more than one sound, two words written the same can have two or more pronunciations.Read and lead is the homophone of reed and rhymes with bead, weed, deed, seed and knead when it is the infinitive or the simple form of the verb, to read.However, read the homophone of red and rhymes with bed, bled, head, dead and fed when it is the past participle and past tense form of the verb, to read.The s in English has two somewhat distinct pronunciations, s and z; therefore, the words close has two pronunciation.When close is a verb, the s is pronounced like a z; it rhymes with nose, hose, dose, flows and froze.When close is an adverb or an adjective, the s pronounced like an s and it rhymes with host, boast and most.

(Part 2 a of Long Description, Part 1 of Long Description at Potpourri of Homographs and Homophones Analyzed and Explained 1) One reason that English can be mind boggling is that there is no relationship between the way a word is pronounced and the same way that that same word is spelt.The gap can be enormous. Need some examples?Examples are not hard to find.Compare how the following words are written with how those same words are pronounced:subtle, colonel, pneumonia, eight, through, bough.
Why are the above words written so differently from how they are pronounced?How much time do you have? For one, you can not forget the role of silent letters or diphthongs in English.Depending on the word, English has many.What are silent letters and silent diphthongs? They are letters or diphthongs which do not correspond to any sound in a word's pronunciation.In the word ‘debt’, the letter 'b' is silent; in the word autumn, the n is silent and in the word corps, both the p and s are silent.In the area of silent diphthongs in words in English, the following words are examples, the silent diphthongs are highlighted: clothes, daughter, light and ought. In many words, one letter of the diphthong is pronounced while the other is silent; the silent letter of the diphthong is highlighted: knee, gnash, mnemonic, psychology, tsunami, ghost.It would seem logical that silent letters or diphthongs can be ignored not only in speaking but also in writing. Who says that English, or, for that matter, any language is logical?English is many things; however, it is not logical.Its irregularities can drive any sane person, be he/she native speaker or not, raving mad.Therefore, although not pronounced, a silent letter or diphthong must be included in the written form of the word.The word gost , for example, without the 'h' means nothing.The ‘b’ is not pronounced in the words debt, plumber or comb but the letter must be included when writing the words.Just as the ‘p’ must be included in the words:psalm, pseudo,psychologist or psychiatrist.

In the area of science, the Germanic aspect of language is rarely used.The head, for example, is not called the head, the heart is not called the heart and the hand is not called the hand.It is the Latin and ancient Greek aspect of English which dominate through affixes.It is for this reason that if one is unfamiliar with Latin and Greek prefixes, roots and suffixes , a medical book or a conversation between medical professions, although in English, can be totally incomprehensible.

When doctors refer to a particular part of the body, an illness which may affect it or a procedure with which to treat it, they do not use those terms known and used by most English-speakers. Rather, they use Latin and/or Greek terminologies. If you do not know those affixes (prefixes, roots, suffixes) which form medical as well as general scientific terminology,this aspect of English is as foreign to you as any foreign language.This is a problem.
