English language can be very confusing. Here's what I found out too. 1. French kiss in France is called English kiss, while in England, it's French kiss. 2. A fireman is not a man made of fire. 3. It is very difficult to staple water to a tree. 4. Drinking hot tea does not make you a hottie. 5. Babies are not born with clothes on. 6. By the age of 16, you have lived 8 years... twice. 7. Today is the day after yesterday. 8. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert 9. The plural of box is boxes but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes ![]() 10. The plural of mouse is mice. I'm wondering why the plural of house is not hice. ![]() 31 Likes 7 Shares |
