It's time to wonder again:
About the weird and wonderful language... English.
- How can 'You're so cool' and 'You're not so hot' be different?
- There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
- I did not object to the object.
- Boxing rings are square.
- If one goose becomes two geese, why doesn't one moose become two meese?
- A guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
- The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
- Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
- When the stars are out, they are visible,
When the lights are out, they are invisible.
- If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
