Title: English is weird :O
Post by: $nake on January 09, 2012, 08:02
IF THE GH SOUND IN ENOUGH IS PROUNCED "F"
& THE O IN WOMEN MAKES THE SHORT "I" SOUND
& THE TI IN NATION IS PRONOUNCED "SH"
THEN THE WORD
"GHOTI"
IS PROUNCED JUST LIKE
"FISH"


Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

More? English muffins weren't invented in England. Boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neigher fom Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, why does a humanitarian eat?
In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Or ship by truck and send cargo by ship?
Have noses that run and fet that smell? How can a slom chance and a fat chance be the same, while wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
Bad joke: I sent my CV to the Apple. Unfortunately they didn't have jobs.

This ain't the hardest language, guys. I mean I've learned 3/4 from cartoons and the last quarter from school (grammar stuff).
The hardest for us, the majority, the hardest languages would be the ones from Asia.

Yes, it always amuses me how difficult English can be for those who speak it natively.

Those of us native speakers (including me) that can actually speak English are just eclipsed by the stupid Facebook girls that tlk lyk ths. Pisses me the fuck off that people can't take the time to type with proper grammar, punctuation and spelling.

I'm not saying all of you write poor English, just a considerable amount of people who don't see a difference between their and they're or should've and should of etc. This is the kind of people I had in mind when typing up my post.
