English Is A Stupid Language. by Papadoh(m): 10:28am On Nov 28, 2017 |
There is no egg in eggplant No ham in hamburger And neither pine nor apple in pineapple English muffins were not invented in England French fries were not invented in France. We sometimes take English for granted But if we examine its paradoxes we find that Quicksand takes you down slowly Boxing rings are square And a guinea pig is neither from guinea nor is it a pig. If writers write, how come fingers don't fing If the plural of tooth is teeth Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth? If the teacher taught, Why didn't the preacher praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables What the heck does a humanitarian eat?! Why do people recite at a play yet play at a recital? Park on driveways and drive on parkways. You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language where A house can burn up as it burns down And in which you fill in a form by filling it out And a bell is only heard once it goes. When stars are out they are visible But when lights are out they are invisible. 81 Likes 17 Shares

Hmmmm....deep. Even though English language was my best subject in school and I also majored in it in the university, I still don't totally understand it. Don’t think I ever will. The rules are just too complex and confusing! ![]() 15 Likes |
