This is not true. Several languages follow some strict grammatical rules
with little to no exception. That's what makes English such a difficult
language to learn. It's all exception. There are very few rules that
actually hold true universally in English. Many other languages are much
more predictable. For example, in Spanish, things sound just like they
look. You can spell anything in Spanish as long as you can pronounce it
correctly. The rules of pronunciation are very stringent.

And I add that there is probably no language in the world where one can
assert that a particular gramatical rule ALWAYS happens within that
language. There are invariably exceptions (as Tony has pointed out).
