The Engreesh language

[Pawl 0]

No wonder it's so hard to learn as a language

* If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth?

* One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese?

* Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.

* If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of
them, what do you call it? Is it an odd, or an end?

* If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?

* If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

* In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?

* Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?

* Have noses that run and feet that smell?

* How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man
and a wise guy are opposites?

* You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your
house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by
filling it out, and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

* English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the
creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all.

* That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the
lights are out, they are invisible.

* Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"?

If the plural of Ox is Oxen, why is the plural of Box not Boxen?


If Rough is pronounced Ruff why is Plough not pronounced Pluff?

*Pinky Voice* "Uh, i fink so Brain, but if the plural of mouse is mice, shouldn't the plural of spouse be, spice?"

That "..ough" one is weird.

Enough (uff), Though (oh), through (ooh) thought (aw), and the one you mentioned, plough (ow)

That's five different pronunciations of the same sequence of letters
