Hrmpf…. English!
Hrmpf…. English! Why is there one O in lose but two in choose? Why are you, true, too, do, new rhyming yet spelled entirely different? Why is the plural of tooth; teeth, but not booth; beeth? If a teacher taught why didn’t a preacher praught? Why does slim chance and fat chance mean the same while wise man and wise guy mean the opposite? Why does one ship by a truck and send cargo via a ship? Or if they’re spoiled they’re also rotten? When teaching prepositions I’ll teach them that once drinks himself UNDER the table? And that the next morning once has a hang OVER? What about hanging out? What is one hanging? Or KILLING TIME (is time alive?) while eating a HOT DOG (why not cat)? Why is meat, great and threat spelled the same, pronounced differently, while rhyming w suite, straight and debt? Or why do heard & word rhyme? Dead is like bed (not bead). Why don’t go and do rhyme? Or blood and food? Why not wart and cart? Tomb, bomb, comb? ffice:smarttags" /> Enough, though, through, plough and dough? Why DO however busy and dizzy rhyme? Verse, rhymes with worse? Broad, reward? Low, toe? Why do you say A dirty police has lice? I live, therefore I am alive? I see the beautiful sea. Do you agree with me? Have you ever tried to teach a Spanish person the word Sheet? |
