Words can be confusing?!


Question: Words can be confusing!?
Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to anasylum for the verbally insane!. In what language do people recite at aplay and play at a recital!? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship!? Have noses that run and feet that smell!? Park on driveways and drive on parkways!?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and wise guy are opposites!? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike!? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another!?

Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are absent!? Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown!? Met a sung hero or experienced requited love!? Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated, gruntled, ruly or peccable!?

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 clock 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 why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
