I love languages

I do I love all the words I know and little facts and blah blah ■■■■…I loved how my Spanish friends could speak to the Italians we met but everyone spoke English…and I would bust out my crazy Spanish skills…el gato is loco…they all laugh…languages are fun…

I love all those things but I lack focus so I choose druid viking lol

omg your tagline has me cracking up out loud!

Also, I love languages and Language, too (capital L).

I have training to be a linguist, so I assume my brocca’s region is bigger than my ego hahahaa

It’s been years since I did any C or C++ programming. I hate to admit it but I also programmed in Fortran and Pascal what seems like eons ago. For some reason I never programmed in Basic though.

Let’s Face It. English Is a Stupid Language.
There is no egg in the eggplant,
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England,
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted, but if we examine its paradoxes we find that:
Quicksand takes you down slowly,
Boxing rings are square,
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don’t fing?
If the plural of tooth is teeth,
Shouldn’t the plural of phone booth be phone beeth?
If the teacher taught,
Why hasn’t the preacher praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables,
What the heck does a humanitarian eat?
Why do people recite at a play,
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways?
How can the weather be as hot as hell on one day
And as cold as hell on another?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language where a house can burn up as it burns down,
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

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.)

That is why:
When the stars are out they are visible,
But when the lights are out they are invisible.
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts,
But when I wind up this poem
It ends.
