"The Chaos" is a classic poem which demonstrates the irregularity of English spelling and pronunciation, written by Gerard Nolst Trenité (1870-1946), also known under the pseudonym Charivarius. It first appeared in an appendix to the author's 1920 textbook Drop Your Foreign Accent: Engelsche Uitspraakoefeningen. ** You can hear some of it pronounced mostly correctly by "JimmyJams" in the video THE CHAOS OF ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION BY GERARD NOLST TRENITÉ on Youtube. **
