Super User Dan: Posted March 28, 2007 Super User Posted March 28, 2007 yeah, I've seen that a few times, but it really is amazing that you only need those two letters to decipher a word. The brain really does a lot more stuff than you would think. It's like a computer that is hundreds of times faster than any computer that exists. Quote
frogtog Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Read it with ease, just don't put a spelling test on here. : Also did you know that the brain doesn't recognize the letter " F " This is true. Quote
Shad_Master Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Ive had this on my computer for a while - I may have even gotten it here -- even if so, it seems to fit with the thread: Reasons why English 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 thought it was time to present his 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 is too strong to wind the sail. 18) Upon seeing a tear in the painting I shed a tear. 19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friends? Let's fact it English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple or pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinepig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write, but fingers 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? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? 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? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite 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 thing, while a wise man and 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, 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 speaking of computers How about when you want to shut down your computer you have to hit start? Quote

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same thing, while a wise man and wise guy are opposites? And why do we drive on the parkway and park on the driveway? Why do they call it Rhode Island when it is not a road or a island? Why is the North Pole and Town Square called that when they are really round? Who was the genis that named a town in New York, New York? Quote
