The English Language
Dec. 13th, 2007 11:06 amI didn't write any of this, but I think it's brilliant.
Everybody knows that the English Language has some strange quirks, some of these are listed below. it makes for interesting reading.
( We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes; but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes. )
( It's all about context... )
( If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? )
( Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?' )
