Don't even get me started on whoever decided that through, trough, and though, don't rhyme, but pony and Bologna do. I bet he was a colonel who kept a journal.... Asshole...
To be pedantic that's not grammar but orthography (which in English is even weirder). English is just a mutant amalgamation of Germanic, Romance and Celtic languages and man, it shows.
Three languages in a trench coat
There's very little Celtic in modern English. Old Germanic, Latin, and French (which is derived from Latin) are the biggest contributors.
Don't forget French.
French is technically a romance language but it is very different from the others.

Are you on Jerboa by any chance?
Yeah. I've since figured it out. It's just the net up verse down vote count. Actually somewhat useful for quick glancing.
Mashing together all the languages into a Frankenstein form of communication is English grammar. It has nothing to do with birds!
Except for the reason why we have different words for 'chicken' while it's alive, and 'poultry' after it's been slaughtered.
