At What Point Did The English Language Get You Logically Confused Or Irritated? by V1C70R(m): 5:05pm On Dec 18, 2019 |
The language, English, came to us through the colonial process, and since then, despite having numerous languages, we adopted the English language as the official language for daily communication. As many have tried reasoning why the sentence, give her her book is correct, then, give him him book is not, I've also had mine, and it's why my nose should be running, and my feet smelling, they contradict logically abi? Lol! Oya share yours below! |

i once read the following madness..... a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor a pig there is no egg in eggplant there is no ham in hamburger there is no apples nor pine in pineapple English muffins aren't English French fries nor French kiss are French quicksand is slow boxing rings are square If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese. So normally one moose would be two meese? One mouse, two mice, means one house, two hice? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but you can't make just a single amend? If teachers have taught, why haven't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, then what does a humanitarian eat? people recite at a play and play at a recital Must we ship by transport and transport by ship? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? your house can burn up while it's burning down forms are filled out by being filled in an alarm that's gone off is still going on. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Past tense of learn is spelled #learned, pronounced #learnt. I smile when I see people make that mistake... its the most difficult to correct... F*ck that language |

Past, Present and future tense of read remain 'read', but it is not same for 'lead' It is hard to know the best case to use the punctuations ;. It is the only punctuation I have an issue with. |
