English Language Sef by Timalina(f): 10:42am On Aug 05, 2014
Hav u ever wondered y foreigners av trouble wif d eng language?

Lets face it
English z a stupid language o

There z no egg in d eggplant
No ham in d hamburger
Neither pine nor apple in d pineapple
English muffins wer nt invented in england
French fries wer nt invented in france
We sumtyms tk english for granted buh wen we examine its paradoxes we find dat

Quicksand tks u down slowly
Boxing rings r square
And a guinea pig z neither frm guinea nor is it a pig

If writers write,hw cums fingers dnt fing
If the plural of tooth z teeth,shudnt d plural of phone booth b phone beeth
If d teacher taught,y didnt d preacher praught
If a vegetarian eats vegetables.den wah d heck does a humanitarian eat?
Why do pple recite @ a play nd yet play @ a recital

You av to marvel @ dis unique lunacy
Of a language wea a house can burn up as it burns down
And in wic u fill a form by filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes

English was invented by ppl,not computers n it reflects d creativity of d human race....

That z y
Wen d stars r out,dy r visible
But when d lights are out,dy r invisible
And why z it dat wen i wind up my watch,it starts
But when i wind down dis conversation.it ends
ENGLISH NA DIE
