ENGLISH IS A CRAZY LANGUAGE

HERE IS A LIST OF CRAZY THINGS ENGLISH LANGUAGE SAID AND MY OBSERVATIONS


There is no EGG in EGGPLANT nor HAM in HAMBURGER;neither APPLE nor PINE in PINEAPPLE...ENGLISH MUFFINS weren't invented in ENGLAND..QUICKSAND works slowly,BOXING RINGS are SQUARE,and a GUINEAPIG is neither from GUINEA nor is it a PIG.:>

And why is it that WRITER WRITES but FINGERS don't FING,GROCERS don't GROCE and HAMMERs don't HAM?..Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make AMENDS but not one AMEND??.if TEACHERS TAUGHT,why didn't PREACHERS PRAUGHT??..if a VEGETARIAN eats VEGETABLES,what does a HUMANITARIAN eat??

In what other language do people RECITE at a PLAY and PLAY at a RECITAL??,We SHIP by TRUCK but send CARGO by SHIP..We have NOSES that RUN and FEET that SMELL..We PARK in a DRIVEWAY and DRIVE in a PARKWAY (ain't it crazy??)..And how can a SLIM CHANCE and a FAT CHANCE be the same,while a WISE MAN and a WISE GUY are opposites??

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your HOUSE can BURN UP as it BURNS DOWN,in which you FILL IN a form by FILLING IT OUT,and in which an ALARM goes OFF by GOING ON.

And,in closing,if father is POP please how come mother is not MOP??..lol happy Sunday peeps

I kind of use both, but right now I'm using a mobile. And yeah, it's really good to laugh and be happy most times (all the time) cuz life's just too short and unpredictable.

As far as communication is concerned, no, we can't.

Speaking of English, just decided to post this here

It's either

Don't fall victim to land scams OR
