| English is a weird language.. |
Just posting something on my blog.. for fun. If you don't want to waste your time, don't read it. If you're very free, want to spend a few minutes reading this, go ahead, by all means. =P Can't wait for CF tonight, it's Acting Night. Wonder what kind of funny stuffs with happen in CF tonight. ^_^
There is no egg in the eggplant; No ham in the hamburger. And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
And while no one knows what is it in a hot dog, you can be pretty sure it isnt canine.
English muffins were not invented in England;French fries were not invented in France.
We sometimes take English for granted. But if we examine its paradoxes we find that Quicksand takes you down slowly.
Boxing rings are square.
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads,which arent sweet, are meat.
If writers write, how come fingers dont fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth, One goose, two geese. So one moose, two meese? Is cheese the plural of choose?
One mouse, two mice; one louse, two lice, One house, two hice?
Shouldnt the plural of phone booth be phone beeth?
If the teacher taught, why didnt the preacher praught, Or the grocer groce, or hammers ham?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, What the heck does a humanitarian eat?
Why do people recite at a play, Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
Ship by truck, and send cargo by ship?
Have feet that smell and noses that run?
How can the weather be as hot as hell on one day And as cold as heaven on another
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy Of a language where a house can burn up as it burns down, and in which you fill in a form by filling it out.
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
English was invented by people, not computers. And it reflects the creativity of the human race. ( Which of course isnt a race at all )
That is why you get in and out of a car, and on and off a bus.
When the stars are out they are visible. But when the lights are out they are
invisible.
And why is it that when I wind up my watch it starts, But when I wind up this poem, it ends.
So, isnt English a weird language? |
