THOUGH MY HOMELAND'S ALREADY USING ENGLISH AS A MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION IN THE CENTER OF BUSINESS AND COMMERCIALIZATION, I'M STILL EXPERIENCING THE "TIP-OF-THE-TONGUE" PHENOMENON THAT I CAN'T FIND THE APPROPRIATE WORDS TO SUIT WHAT I REALLY WANT TO SAY. HELP ME GRAMMAR 101! RIGHT NOW, I RE-READ THIS FOR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE HITTING THE POST BUTTON. (just-a-dull-in-english)
haha ... yes OK I am from the UK ... its not crazy whatsoever !!! just a lil quirky !!!
Then there is American English which often spells and pronunciates words differently than the English speaking English.
I do not really speak English... I speak American! Semper Fi! Hooah! God bless my troops! God bless the USA!
Why isn't through spelled thru and two spelled tu. what's with threw, through, to, two, and too?
English is simple...ok, not really...you'll have to excuse my excuses. Glad I had to learn it as a first language, heh.
For generations our ancestors fought proudly as warriors against the Jedi. Reclaim our armored past for an unending future.
For years I taught English as a Second Language, and that really makes you aware of how screwy our language is. But that screwiness also makes it interesting. As for spelling, think about through, thorough, trough, tough, though, thought. Crazy enough?
We'll begin with box; the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox is oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, and two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose is never called meese
You may find a lone mouse or a house full of mice;
But the plural of house is houses, not hice.
The plural of man is always men,
But the plural of pan is never pen.
I speak of a foot, and you show me two feet,
And I give you a book, would a pair be a beek?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't two booths be called beeth?
If the singular's this and the plural is these,
Should the plural of kiss be ever called keese?
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
And though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him;
But imagine the feminine . . . she, shis, and shim!
