To write English well, one needs vocabulary, grammar, an understanding of punctuation and good spelling.
“Why is English spelling such a nightmare?” To begin with, English is remarkable for the number of words that can have more than one correct spelling: protestor/protester, judgement/ judgment and eyeing/eying are all permitted spelling whereas ‘accomodation’ is not a permitted variant of ‘accommodation’.

Bouquet, boutique, fiancé(e), chauffeur, chemise, ennui, lingerie, ensem-ble, rouge, a la carte, coquette, nouveau riche are some of the French words used in English.
