It is fun and 'constructive' to look for 'irregularities' (odd bits) in any language. We get better with more use of language, more understanding of where words come from (and why),... [I will give more examples in another post.]

At this point in time, "Plain and Simple English" looks very much a misnomer (wrong name). But this is the point where 'real world' (not simplified model) is 'studied'. Once we know a language's true reality, we can use the language better. We can use languages as tools like any other tool (in our bag) ;-) .

P.S. Two names come to my mind when Google is mentioned: Sergey Brin and Larry Page ('Perl' language originator). I don't know what Google means or where it comes from.

(Mark) Zuckerberg (ซูคเคอเบอรึก of Facebook) is possibly of a (Jewish-) German origin. Deutsch (language) is a lot more regular (like Thai) than English in term of pronunciation (vowel sounds are 'true' to letters). (Ich nicht sprechen deutsch. ;-)
