In a land obsessed with the penis and other sexual references?
I was actually more intrigued with the gas references.
You'll tell us anything ;-)
I'm an open book, take me or leave me.
What page is the pull of the finger on?
11, 37, and 93.
I sometimes use a "useful" frubal for the heck of it. In your case, it would be useful if I had a copy of the book.
I'd send you a copy, but it might not actually be useful unless you speak Georgionian.
I'll offer you 1000 frubals of your choice for a translation.
Okay, first, learn the letters.......this is an 'A' = A....take time to memorize the letter 'A', please
@JustGeorge, English isn't as hard as you have been making it...
Enough of this confusion, I'm going to sleep, goodnight people...
Yes it is, it's one of the most difficult languages
Okay, already.....good night
It's an unruly stew made up of bits and pieces of other languages along with a history of undisciplined spelling of various sorts.
Probably not...
It just makes no sense!
One of the reasons why English is known for being difficult is because it’s full of contradictions. There are innumerable examples of conundrums such as:- There is no ham in hamburger.
- Neither is there any apple nor pine in pineapple.
- If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught?
- If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
- “Overlook” and “oversee” have opposite meanings, while “look” and “see” mean the same thing.
Homophones
Confused yet? If not, you will be after this next point. English is absolutely full of homophones – words that sound the same but have different meanings or spellings. We’ve already dedicated an article to homophones, but if you don’t have time to read that, here are a few examples…- A bandage is wound around a wound (“wound”, pronounced “wowned” is the past tense of “wind”, as well as an injury when pronounced “woond”).
- The door was too close to the table to close (the first “close” is pronounced with a soft “S” and means “near”, while the second is pronounced with a hard “S” and means “shut”).
- I decided to desert my dessert in the desert (the first “desert” means “abandon” and has the emphasis placed on the second syllable; “dessert” is pronounced the same but means a pudding; and the second “desert” means the dry, sandy environment with camels, and is pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable).
