EnGLisH iS a cRazY LaNgUage.... :-)

Lets face it-English is a crazy language.
We take English for granted.But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly,boxing ring are square and guinea pig is neither from guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but finger don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? ahaks!
one goose two geese. One moose, two meese? adoii!!
Doesn't it seem crazy that you make amends but not one amend, that you comb annals of history but not a single annal?
If you have a bunch of odds and end and get rid of all but one of them.
What do you call it?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? haha
If you wrote a letter,perhaps you bote your tongue?
Sometimes I think all English speaker should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?
Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are absent? Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown?
Met a sung hero or experienced requited love?
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...ha..)
That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.......
ahaks! Ahaks! penin pale...
