english.

So, today I took my first spanish test of the year.  Hopefully, I pass.  I already struggle with learning Spanish fluently, I highly admire all those who learn english as a second language.  Because, the english language sucks.  There are millions of rules, but thousands of exceptions to each rule.  So, props to all those foreigners who come here & learn our language!

21 reasons the english language sucks:
  1. The bandage was wound around the wound.
  2. The farm was used to produce produce
  3. The dump was so full it had to refuse more refuse.
  4. We must polish the Polish funiture.
  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 was no time like there present, he thought it was time to present the present.
  8. A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
  9. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushed.
  10. I did not object to the object.
  11. The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
  12. There was a row among the oarsmen on how to row.
  13. They were too close to the door to close it.
  14. THe buck does funny things when 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 was too strong to wind the sail.
  18. After a number of injections my jaw got number.
  19. Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
  20. I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
  21. How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
If the GH sound in enough is pronounced "f" 
& the o in women makes the short "i" sound 
& the ti in nation is pronounced "sh" then the word
"GHOTI"
is pronounced just like
"FISH"
welcome to the english language.
