Barbie says "English is HARD!"

Here are some examples of why English is so difficult, despite the fact that it has a relatively simple morphology.

"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana." (homonyms are effing impossible for non-native speakers)
"She had a boyfriend with a wooden leg, but broke it off." (multiple meanings of verb phrases; nongendered pronoun 'it' makes for unclear antecedent)
"A lot of money is tainted. 'Taint yours and 'taint mine." (contractions make English difficult to understand)
"A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat." (again, multiple meanings/homonyms: hard, beat)
