No wonder so many peoples cannot speak English properly
It is a confusing language....

Take for instance the word "Overwhelm". As in: to overcome completely in mind or feeling."

You can be overwhelmed, something can be overwhelming....

But can you be " whelmed" ?

Nope, "whelm" is not in the dictionary

Take for instance the words "Revenge" & "Avenge"

As in: to take vengeance for; inflict punishment for.

But I ask, can you "Venge" without the "RE" as in "to do over"
Can you "venge"?

I told you...I am think about the wierdest things sometimes....
