Things you learned in English class...

...that turned out to be bullshit in real life.

My teacher always told us that:

*Things don't happen at night, they happen by night
*You don't live a life, you lead a life

While you can lead a life by night, I've learned that most native English speakers (especially Americans) would live a life at night instead.

What other things not completely in touch with reality did you learn in your English/any other language classes?

a,b,c,d,e,f,g, thousands of exception, different readings for the same shit, or same reading for complete different shit
That's why english sucks, it has holes everywhere

I mean, "read" has two readings
But reed, read, they all sound like "rwid" with that typical bent-tongue R
Can't you native english speakers just make a structured language like everybody else did?
