They are logical. English isn't like scandi languages, you can pronounce words more than one way.

American spelling isn't logical either, all it did was make more exceptions to rules

You Brits are pretty much the worst in the world when it comes to this.
Just watch Top Gear, it's just an endless tirade of "my car is better than your car."
This is how plebs kill time.

Fanboyism and cultural elitism is truly a waste of time. But you are so deeply indoctrinated in this way of thinking that you see no exist.

American English is turning into German

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make sivil servants jump for joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k", Which should klear up some konfusion and allow one key less on keyboards.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f", making words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e" is disgrasful.
By the fourth yer, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and everivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. ZE DREM VIL FINALI COM TRU!

That's because English is the fucked up baby of Old English, French, Latin, German and some other little spices here and there.

None of the spelling or pronunciation makes any sense because It's derived from other languages which all have different protocols for spelling and pronunciation

English is an anything goes Language, very easy to adapt. That's one of the reasons It's so great.

You could try and simplify and standardise is like the Americans did but they gave up because It was way too much effort for something that really doesn't matter

>Change words like defence to defense
>Don't change fence to fense
>Can obviously see in the word defence the word fence, which is a physical barrier separating people or land for the sake of protection.
>Fense is not a word
