Lol why did English have to be so influenced by French. Their spelling has so many extra letters

Maillard is just the surname of the French guy who first described the reaction scientifically.

I think really it just *seems* like French spelling has all these extra letters because we're not native French speakers. In fact one of the hardest things for people learning English is our whacky spellings.

Why isn't 'rough' spelled 'ruf'? Why does 'wrote' begin with a 'double-ewe'? (I'm reaching on that one, I know). I suppose I'm just making the point that we don't notice it so much when it's our own language.
