English is not an easy language.
ReplyDeleteEven English speakers have trouble with it, I pity anyone encountering it for the first time. It's the homophones and sharp corners that do most people in and I've often wondered if other languages have the sound traps we do.
DeletePart of the problem is that there IS no English language, it's a ployglot of whatever comes by, from French to Tagalog to Dutch and Japanese...fun, but tricky.
Two deserts? I'd rather two desserts. Really, I don't know how kids learn English with some words have 5 different spellings. And then there are the words like spell and spell that are spelled the same but mean two different things.
ReplyDeleteyou can burn a house down or burn it up at the same time, with just one match...
Deleteflammable and inflammable are the same thing
actually...'come sit a spell' or 'spell me on the saw, my arms are tired", or "spell that word correctly" or "I put a spell on him..." and "he had a bad spell there, didn't he?"
Clever.
