english as confusing language (spam from my inbox)

Let's face it: English is a confusing 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 is not a race at all).

That is why when the stars are out they are visible, but when the lights

are out they are invisible.

Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? Why is the

man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is a person who

plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a race car not

called a racist? Why are wise men and wise guys opposites? Why do

overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

If horrific means to make horrible, doesn't terrific mean to make

terrible? Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one? If lawyers are disbarred

and clergymen defrocked, electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted,

cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry

cleaners depressed? If you take an oriental person and spin him around

several times, does he become disoriented?

If people from Poland are called "Poles", why aren't people from Holland

"Holes"? And why is it that when I wind up my watch it starts but when I

wind up this story ends?

Now, have a good day!

"Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." -- Robert A. Heinlein

"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man."

"In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him."—Dereke Bruce

Maščevanje je priznanje bolečine.

Mož brez vere je kot konj brez uzde.

Ne glede na preteklost - tudi dekla, ko se poroči, postane dama.

Dejanje je vse, slava je nič. (Goethe)

Zmaguje tisti, ki obvlada sebe.

Vsak od nas je vsak dan vsaj pet minut popoln bedak. Bistvo je v tem, da te meje ne prekoračimo preveč izdatno. 

jap :rolleyes:

Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down.

(Brown Daily Herald. March 24, 1995.)

Facing it, always facing it, that's the way to get through. Face it.

Joseph Conrad

It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose. Joseph Conrad

Reality, as usual, beats fiction out of sight.

Joseph Conrad
