English is a CRAZY language, period!
HELLO MY RESPECTED ENGLISH LEARNER
WELCOME
An HT from English forum, well, what can I say, mimin and momod thanks for this, and also to my fellow English learner for voting this thread, so this mean that faith in English Forum has been restored
Spoiler for Faith in English Forum has been restored:
Hi guys, ok I know, it seems that you are curious about my controversial thread's title, well, you know what, it's because English is FULL OF INCONSISTENCY........that's right, Loud n Clear,huff........glad I can say that
Quote:
Hey, not that I hate English, it's up to you to decide. Okay, let's start with a BOX, and the plural is BOXES, but the plural of OXbecomes OXEN, not OXES. There is no HAM in HAMBURGER, neither APPLE or PINE in PINEAPPLE. QUICKSAND can work SLOWLY, BOXING RINGS are SQUARE, and GUINEA PIG is neither from GUINEA nor is it a PIG 
If TEACHERS TAUGHT, why didn't PREACHERS PRAUGHT? If a VEGETARIAN eats VEGETABLES, what does a HUMANITARIAN eats? In what other language do people RECITE at a PLAY and PLAY at a RECITAL?
Another thing which annoys me so much coz I spent 2 years of my life in UK, and during my stay, I often purchase stuff on line. Well, they SHIP BY TRUCK but SEND CARGO BY SHIP, whatever...hahahaha.
We have NOSES that RUN and FEET that SMELL, we PARK in a DRIVEWAY and DRIVE in a PARKWAY where people who ride motorcycles are called BIKERS and people who ride BIKES are called CYCLISTS. And how can a SLIM CHANCE and a FAT CHANCE be the same, while a WISE MAN and a WISE GUY are opposites?
Let's face this 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.
Indeed that 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, we have a KING that rules a KINGDOM but a QUEEN doesn't rule a QUEENDOM, and when the STARS are OUT, they are VISIBLE, but when the LIGHTS are OUT, they are INVISIBLE also we have a NIGHT FALL which never BREAK and a DAY BREAK which never FALL.
Imagine, the masculine pronouns are HE, HIS and HIM and so the feminine should be SHE, SHIS and SHIM?

However, should I tell the posters that this is English Forum. Thus, get yourself used to English anytime you post in this particular Forum

Here some, they measure a length by FEET, including BUILDING, SEA even SNAKE that don't have FEET
If we saye MORE and MOST on most adjective with -ER and -EST (ex : Cool - Coller - Collest, Fast - Faster - Fastest) so why do we can't find BEDDER - BEDDEST or GOODER - GOODEST (BAD - WORSE - WORST, GOOD - BETTER - BEST)
Again, I never hear a word pronoun WHOM in movie, is that word really exist??
Anyway, any language have their inconsistence, including Bahasa Indonesia
Now just enjoy the english

Ngakak ane bacanya
Benar-benar crazy
Selama ini ane pun berpikir bahasa inggris itu aneh, gak konsisten.
Contoh : Saat "oo" diucapkan "u" di beberapa kata misal kata "baloon", "spoon", "cartoon", et cetera. Tetapi kenapa pada kata "door" tidak dibaca "u" tetapi tetap "o". Tapi kalau ada orang bilang "buka pintunya" jadi "open de dur", bisa-bisa yg denger malah ngakak gak ketulungan
Contoh lain : Pembacaan/pronounciation "u" bisa berbeda-beda. Kadang tetap "u", kadang bisa "a".
Yg pasti English is very unique.
