Beverly Round, your English teacher, has left us a perfect example of why the English language has one serious headache when someone is about to study. But this is no excuse to continue working and learning English
Let’s face it!
English is a crazy language. There is no egg ineggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But 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. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when thelights are out, they are invisible.
