You: English pronunciation is random and lawless. It is a chaos language no one can make sense of.
Me:
@ConfusedImp i.e we say "white brick house" instead of "brick white house" because you could paint it a different color and it'd be the same house, but if you replaced all the bricks, it might not be. it's related to the ship of theseus thought experiment and the philosophical concept of "essence".
