About differing perspectives again.

One of my brothers in law is a native english speaker. When learning russian, he was telling me that russian alphabet is quite odd since, for instance, they have a short i and a long i.

Just like the long an short e sound in ship and sheep I told him. And he just then realised that english has the exact same thing and it never occured to him.

And to a non english speaker, ship and sheep sound the same and it is quite annoying.
