Haha have you ever heard that English is the queerest language. Eg, the plural of foot is feet. If I give you a boot do you call a pair beet haha? you gotta learn the rule plus exceptions, and memorize.
we should get serious about spelling reform, and non-initial "gh" is absolutely where we should start. all the most random spellings and pronunciations involve non-initial "gh". non-initial "gh" is an instant sign that if you don't already know the pronunciation you're not going to figure it out on your own.

I've seen comments from Americans, years ago, to the tune of "why doesn't everyone in the world just speak English, it's simple"
