The English language

That’s nice, hope you bring some food for him or her as well?

I don’t bother at home, we have enough social care and shelters that no one should be living on the street, maybe that’s bad on my part. Will buy them food in other countries that aren’t as fortunate than my own though.

I'm medicated now so I don't do those type of things anymore.

I used to walk into town with a thermos and have a coffee with a homeless dude.

I asked a homeless dude if he wanted to share a bucket of fried chicken.
He told me to get lost and buy my own.

You clever sausage.

English spelling is awful. English pronunciation based on spelling is awful.

For example, pronounce the following: "ghoti."












It's pronounced "fish."

Gone, bone and done are all said differently.

Apply them to the correct pronunciation or scone argument and you just get a third option. 🤷‍♂️

Better than being just a plain old sausage like yourself, hanging around waiting to jump in. 😛 😉

The words probably have different history - some are old, some may have been pronounced differently much earlier or maybe were imported at some time, I find it all fascinating. The same applies to all languages, I would think.
