And we wonder why English is sometimes failed in school..................

English is easy. Yea, right!
Reasons why English is so hard to learn.

present the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the 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.

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in an eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor
pine in pineapple.  Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren't
sweet, are meat. And if we explore its paradoxes, we find that
quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither
from Guinea nor is it a pig. You park in the driveway but you drive on
the parkway. You ship by truck and send cargo by ship. How can a slim
chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy
are opposites?

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 goes off by going on. When the stars are out, they
are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

And finally, how about when you want to shut down your computer you have
to hit "START!!

Hagar;

For some unknown reason we have here
in Northwest Arkansas, USA  a good number
of what we call Limies several I have the
great honor to call "friend", One, a world class
RC pilot, who teaches "Kids" to fly, is a real
gem of a man, a credit to his country and the
human race, When the Kids do something
really wrong, he never looses his cool.
It is a real joy to watch him work with the
kids!! The fact you and Gary share a common
heritage sets you a step above the rest!!!

English is the crappiest language ever.  I before E but not after C except for a million exceptions.  All these rules and there are billions of exeptions
