Somehow I'd never heard that term before - but I have heard non-native English speakers grouse about them before. There are tons of other things about English that make it much more difficult to learn as a second language than others. For example, Spanish is a very phonetic language and the crazy differences we have in spelling and pronunciation are rare in that language. I don't think that's true for French, though... Perhaps I'll find out.
