Also, how do you pronounce 'stingy'... 'Raphael'...

"Raphael" is of Hebrew origin. Can't fault English for that one.

Can't really fault English for nearly all of it.

Much of the difficulty comes from the fucked-up French language, courtesy of the Norman Invasion in 1066.

So we're talking about a nearly 1000-year old thing here.
