The English Language

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?

Let’s face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
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.

If writers write, how come fingers don’t fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn’t the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn’t the preacher praught.

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

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!

English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn’t a race at all)

That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
It ends.

Evening Crafters

Well im waiting for the go ahead from Rob to go hiding again, Cant wait i love playing hide and see, But it can get a teenie tiny bit boring at times so i have been looking around sites to find somthing that will keep me busy otherwise i tend to nap a lot, And it’s quite scary waking up seeing a big face staring at you with a smile on the face because they have found me and won the bob pot.

Anyways back to what i was saying

I found these Questions these are going to have my brain working overtime, Can you think of any questions like these below which will me keep me busy thinking about?, if so post a comment below

If your legs bent the other way, what would a chair look like?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up like every two hours?

Why are you IN a movie, but you’re ON TV?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Why do doctors leave the room while you change?  They’re going to see you naked anyway.

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet soup?

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

What disease did cured ham actually have?
