Have you ever felt that English is a funny old language?

i am not one who is a master of english....nor do i speak very good english.

but here's 5 reasons why english is a funny old language.

1) 26 letters made up english!

2) what's the difference between flammable and inflammable?

3) the longest english word is not in the oxford dictionary.
however, it can be found in www.dictionary.com

1 entry found for supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Main Entry: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: a nonsense word meaning fantastic; also called supercalifragilistic
Etymology: popularized by the movie `Mary Poppins'

best of all, it absolutely have no meaning..

4) a four letter word can have multiple uses and meanings.

FUCK! - agitated
Fuck you (shouted) - can be used to threaten someone
Fuck you (laughing) - used when friends are joking
Fuck you (grining, smiling) - depending on situations, if a guy says it to another, something is up (no pun intended).
you're gonna get fucked - can be literal meaning, can also mean that you are gonna get beaten up.
fuck your mother, father, sister, brother, dog, cat, mouse - a vulgar curse at you.
fuck off - used to ask someone to get lost or go away
what the fuck? - used in questioning tone, puzzled
get the fuck out of here - (see fuck off)
fucking hell - literally scolding hell, or just a statement of amazement

5) English is spoken differently in different countries....american english, british english, singlish

the above is tongue in cheek and is too be taken light-heartedly...

no offence to anyone or even to the language.

Something to say?
