The English Language. Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the
English Language?. Let's face it. English is a crazy 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 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 isn't a race
at all) That is why when the stars are out they are visible, but when the lights are out
they are invisible, and why it is that when I wind up my watch it starts, but when I wind
up this observation, it ends.
I mean, don't you ever wonder?
