english or malay...

Lets face it: English is stupid. There is no egg
in eggplant or ham in hamburger, neither apple nor
pine in pineapple.

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. And why is it that writers write,
but fingers dont fing, grocers dont groce, and
hammers dont ham? If the plural of tooth is
teeth, why isnt the plural of booth beeth? One
goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One
index,
two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose?

If teachers taught, why didnt preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a
humanitarian eat?

In what language do people recite at a play and
play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by
ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
Park on driveways and drive on parkways?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the
same, while a wise man and a wise guy are
opposites? omg, lmao! How can the weather be hot
as hell one day an cold as hell another?

When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in
a form by filling it out and an alarm clock goes
off by going on.

When the stars are out, they are visible, but when
the lights are out, they are invisible. And why,
when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I
wind up this essay, I end it?

Oh, and if orange juice is made of oranges, corn
bread is made of corn and rice crackers are made
of rice,...what is baby oil made of? ;-)

If you take an Oriental person and spin him around
several times, does he become disoriented? lol

If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't
people from Holland called Holes? lol

Why is the man who invests all your money called
a
broker? lmao

So use the right langguage. ('kempen bahasa'. :))

-peace-
