English is fucked as a language. Honestly there's no reason we need two different words for that with such similar meanings and pronunciation.

Basically every language has situations like this. "plus” in French comes to mind. I think the worst one in English is particularly bad though -- "can" and "can't" pronounced nearly identically in my dialect.
