As a Welsh learner, I grapple with mutations (where the spelling of a word varies depending on grammatical factors).
Of all the letters in the Welsh alphabet, the only ones not involved in mutation at any point are FF and S, which always amuses me, as FFS is what I often think while trying to learn mutations.

@suearcher@toot.wales @eclectech@things.uk I can never decide whether Welsh changing the spelling of words base on the previous / next one is more or less confusing than English’s choice to change the pronunciation but not the spelling (e.g. the apple, the pair).
