Why is it that words ending in the sound [oʊst] are written differently depending on the first sound?

In the -oast camp we have boast, coast, roast, toast

Ending in -ost are ghost, host, most and post

@DanadasGrau Tell that to my satanic neighbors.

Why is it that Western people who write haiku are obsessed with the 5-7-5 rule, but don't seem to care about the kigo (season word) or kireji (cutting word) rules?

Apparently EXCITANT is also not a word according to the Gray Lady.

What manner of bullshit is this?

Received as a present: the story of Rose Valland, overseer of the Jeu de Paume museum in WW2. She had front row seats to the shameless theft of countless artworks by the nazis. She dutifully recorded what was being shipped where. After the war, she spent a decade retrieving most of the stolen art.
The first half of the book is a biography in comic strip form; the second half is a chronology of Valland's life. A true war hero, and one of the most decorated women in French history.
