ENGLISH IS SUCH A DIFFICULT LANGUAGE
During the weekend, i caught up with some reading.
Came across this article which is rather appealing and
sharing here with you all.
There is no egg in eggplant,
neither pine nor apple in pineapple,
and no ham in hamburger.
writer writes, but fingers dont fing,
grocers dont groce, and hammers dont ham?
If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldnt the plural
of booth be beeth?
One goose, two geese - so one moose, two meese?
One index, two indices - one Kleenex, two Kleenices ?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
while a wise man and a wise guy are opposite?
How can overlook and oversee be opposites,
while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?
How can the weather be hot as hell one day
and cold as hell the next?
You fill in a form by filling it out,
while your alarm clock goes off by going on?
English reflects the creativity of the human race
(which, of course isnt really a race at all). That is
why, when stars are out they are visible, but when
the lights are out they are invisible. And why, when
I wind up my watch I start it, but when I wind up
this, I end it.
Waaah.. i really marvel at the uniqueness of ENGRISH.
i was blur reading it at first, and in the end i am LOST.
