As a non-native... CHOIR. Just why?

&gt;Just why?

Because French. And also there was this trend for a while where English words had their spelling changed not to reflect their actual pronunciation but to reflect the language of origin. God knows why anyone thought that was a good idea. Then there was this other thing that happened, where they locked in a lot of spellings for words, then the way people pronounced them changed (The Great Vowel Shift) but the words retained the spelling from before that change. English has a complicated history and I take my hat off to you for learning it.
