English language is hard enough for native English speakers, let alone people who are forced to learn it later in life. Three different variants on the word 'there' (their and they're), three variants of 'to' (too and two), night and knight, isle and aisle - the list goes on and on.
Then there's apostrophes and all their many uses, colons and of course, the ever illusive semicolon. It's just really, really hard.
