English is NOT THIS crazy.
The pronunciation changes over time a lot faster than the spelling, which is held fixed by by long history of written texts, especially literature. But the pronunciation doesn't change randomly, there are patterns to it, and therefore the correspondence from letters to sounds does follow those patterns. Not very regularly, and there are several ways some phonemes could evolve, but it still isn't just random.
So is it gif like in girl or like in giraffe?

This weekend's mystery was "how a nail longer than my hand ended up in my tyre, with just the head still visible?"
It was longer than the height of the tyre so it necessarily had to be at an angle. But who the hell uses nails that long, how did one end up on the road and then in my tyre?
Thankfully the hole was neat enough that it could be patched easily (and cheaply!).
Given the time of year I'd say it fell out of someone's hand after they walked off a cross.
