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. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? ************ Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? ************ If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? ************ If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? ************ If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? ************ In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? ************ Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? ************ Have noses that run and feet that smell? ************ How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wiseguy are opposites? ************ You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on. ************ If Dad is Pop, how come! Mom isn't Mop? ************
