English Language Should Be Reviewed by abrahamodu: 7:55am On Feb 26, 2016
I think English language lacks uniformity and carries too many irregularities. Hence I am pushing forward for the COMPLETE REVIEW of the "English Language" or better still, somethings should be deprecated.

If the "p" in "pneumonia" is silent, why put it there?
If the "k" in "knock" is silent why put it there?
if the past tense of "come" is "came", why is the past tense of "love" not "lave"?

Our own version of English, "Pidgin English" is even more consistent than the British version. In Pidgin, the plural of anything is uniform. Just add "plenty before the word". E.g plenty house, plenty mouse. In English language, they simply confuse us.

"The plural of house becomes houses while the plural of mouse, becomes mice"

English language urgently needs a review.
This is the jet age. Anything is possible!

You simply do not have a clear picture of what is being said. It feels too BIG for you to understand, so you just encourage yourself by trying to drag it into the mud. Be NICE, REASON, THINK and THINK AGAIN before you say ANYTHING

You don't have to walk with the crowd, just because it seems safe at that time. Let the crowd be, then sit down, relax and think it through before you decide to walk with them. FOOD FOR THOUGHTS
