Some examples of why you cannot blindly follow English grammar rules: If writers write and painters paint and riders ride, then why don't fingers fing or hammers ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth and the plural of goose is geese, then shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth and the plural of moose be meese? Maybe they should be, but they aren't. If the teacher taught, why didn't the preacher praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what do you think a humanitarian eats? How can a house that is burning up finally end in being burned down? At a bank or loan office, how can you fill in the necessary information as you fill out the forms? Why is it that when the stars are out they are visible, but when the lights are out they are invisible? Why do people recite at a play, yet play at a recital? Why do people park on driveways but drive on parkways? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? Answer: I simply don't know. I did not object to the object placed on my desk. |
