English is so weird

Limericks by sound, and by spelling -

There once was an old man from York
who took a fat pig for a walk,
when asked "why this was,
he said "it's because
I'd rather eat veggies than pork.

There was an old woman from Slough*
Who developed a terrible cough
So she drank half a pint
Of warm honey and mint
But sadly she didn’t pull through

(*rhymes with plough)


Waiting for a visitor who is LATE I will disappear (I hope) any minute now. You better hope too or I will be adding more weird English examples

There their they're, comfort it won't be that bad.

I am entranced by the entrance to your house
I bought a budgie instead of a parrot

It was a cheaper cheeper.
Vier, I see the limerick, don't see weird words? confused

but I hear a car applause
to, too & two

In America we drive on parkways
and park on driveways
The only time weird language would be appropriate and he doesn't use any. dunno
laugh

The Polish cleaner was meant to polish
the grandfather clock and then to wind it
But her excuse was that the wind was blowing
so hard the duster was of no use, so she asked
me to excuse her this one time.
After all, it was a minute annoyance to not
have the minute hand working for just one day
Poor, pour, pore.
Luke - laugh thumbs up

Fay that's just - complicated! laugh thumbs up

Harb, neither did you laugh

Molly, that's bloody brilliant thumbs up

Chat, how do we ever learn to speak it?








Whether life is worth living depends on the liver. innocent

How about (abowt?) I bow to the girl with the bow in her hair sitting in the bow of the boat and know Cupid has shot me with his bow and arrow ... confused
I still remember the first limerick I ever heard.

There once was a man so beknighted
He never knew when he was slighted
He went to a party
And ate just as hearty
As if he had been invited.
My Grandmother told me it. She was a Geordie from Newcastle-on-Tyne and really had a harsh accent when she spoke.
Ha, I have a Geordie grandparent too laugh
Rough translation

"he law does not concern itself with trivial things"

rolling on the floor laughing
Willie with a thirst for gore
nailed the baby to the door
mother said and humor quaint
"Careful Will don't mar the paint."
For me, English is a very difficult language. English is not my native language, but I had to learn it once, because I had to do it at work. At that time I was studying at a university and at the same time I was working for an international IT company which cooperated with the UK. I enrolled at the university for a English course and wrote a lot of texts in English. I'm writing a little research now about learning language online and I need your help to write a literature review. For a few days now I just can't do anything. I found one service who can help me write my literature review. Judging by the reviews, evaluations and examples of the work performed, the quality of them is very good.
@shokoman possibly - I do a fair amount of thesis proofing; currently doing one in intuitionistic fuzzy sets by a Bulgarian! and another in Gender in Vietnam SME Microeconomics - yours cannot be more obscure I guess...
