Thom, Jen, LadyL...Thanks hope you enjoyed the laugh.
I comment on your comment.
Peter...only one word for you my friend...Brilliant...! I bet no one could think of this...!
No, I don't think that at all. I know how hard it is to me who have never been abroad and who only attended English courses. And look at this: accept and except, there and their, principle and principal, advice and advise, despite and although, affect and effect, personal and personnel, assure and ensure, than and then, bad and bed etc. It is always easier for me to understand what is written than what is said.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful post, I enjoyed it. I even printed these sentences you posted.:-))
MedaM...yes it can be very confusing at times.

The confusion about our language goes even further. Like why do we have the letter C in our alphabet. It makes the S sound and the K sound and nothing more. Also not only does it not have it's own sound, we often use the C in conjunction with the letter K in words like lick. Why not just just spell it lik?
Why do we have PH making the F sound?
These are just a few of only many examples of why our language is so confusing for people to learn.
It woold only look Phunny but knot sound funy oar weird if we speld werds hifonikly. Sew meny dipherant weys two spell serten sounds. Hour language is most sertanly skrewd up. Wat we are taut and hour propur Inglesh is only conphusing. Ir reelie makes no cents at all.
