Yeah, the English language can be a pain due to it not being finnetic (not sure if finnetic is english as I learned it in german... it means that its spelled like it sounds).

Well most of the complaints you have regarding these words that don't seem to sound the way they are spelled can be traced back to the fact that many of the prefixes and suffixes of the words in the english language are derived from latin. I'm no linguist, but it's possible these word roots were spelled that way in latin.
