THe english Language
 

Well I got this in my email and I thought it was sort of fun..so I posted it here...have fun and see how confusing the English language can be or strange.:D

So...you thought you were tough enough to try to learn English? This little
treatise on the lovely language we share is only for the brave. It was
passed on by a linguist, original author unknown. Reasons why the English
language is so hard to learn:


1. The bandage was wound around the wound.

2. The farm was used to produce produce.

3. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4. We must polish the Polish furniture.

5. He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

7. Since there is no time like the present, he though it was time to
present the present.
8. A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.

9. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10. I did not object to the object.

11. The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

12. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13. They were too close to the door to close it.

14. The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15. A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.

16. To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17. The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

18. After a number of injections my jaw got number.
19. Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.

20. I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
21. How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

It's so confusing!:errr: I can totally understand why foreigners complain about how tough the language is. I'm glad I was raised with the language, because it would be impossible for me to learn.

hahaha..... Oh man, that was hillarious!!!

Hehehehe if you think English is confusing try learning Japanesse...they read from right to left, down to up.....and a few other things...but I'm not to sure about those other things so I won't post them .

Yeah, their sentences are also structured differently and the driver is on the right side.:eek: Okay, that has nothing to do with the language but oh well.:p

lol...good one fingers...really confusing though:errr:

Try learning chinese...

Ya, hard to learn. Look around web forums, most people still never caught on to english grammar.

Still, it's better than Spanish. That language just sucks. Prolly cause I suck at it. Oh well, I'd rather learn Pascal than Spanish.

Hhaha, well it would seem not many people on any forums know the correct rules of grammar. Most would probably think, I'm guilty of that as well, but I know most of the rules just don't care to enforce them on forums.

I still find Spanish to be a rather weird but nice addiition to English. Probably because I passed it and it's over.

Stupid English :mad:


Hey isn't Indonesian the easiest language to learn?

English wasn't so hard to learn. I learned it 6 months after I started school.

But that may only be me.

Hey! The driver is MEANT to be on the right hand side... ;)

Hey you are right there sdtPika:D

I'm just glad I grew up with the langauge

Yeah the driver is on the right hand side, where I live as well....it's probadly Jin that's weird. ;):p j/k

I probably wouldn't suck at driving so much if I was on the right side.. I have a tendency to go towards the white line...

But that English stuff is weird.. boo to English! :p
