And I guess you missed my point about generalizing "most other languages". That's all I'll say about this.

I disagree. English is pretty warped, but neither of us has the standing to make an assertion like this "NO language on Earth..." And who is "we"? Go do some research before you write something like this. Especially the last line -- I don't really have enough space here to show how incorrect this is.
There are reasons for the existence of these "rules" and people not knowing how to use it the "right" way: the relationship between spoken and written language, social hierarchy, the general changes of language over time -- the list is almost endless.
