Except that's wrong - there are rules to English pronunciation that work like 99% of the time. It's why most people would pronounce "ghoti" something like "go tee" or "go tie" instead of "fish".
Just because there are exceptions doesn't mean the rules are nonexistent. We're just rarely or never explicitly taught these rules.
