Why did I do that? To make my brain tired!!! What did you do to me…that was fun, but my brain is tired. What I find is that I tend to scan a sentence as I read it, so I think I had an easier time with it. I don’t know how that works, but it makes my head hurt. Any aspirin?
Hahahahaha! Yet more proof that the English language is a bit wacky. Thanks for sharing.
Hehee It made my brain tired too, CC.
@Savvy – Glad you enjoyed it!
Further proof that the English language is just plain silly.
Hehee Definitely.
Someone ought to fix the dessert/desert one; they’re both “desert” right now…
Yeah, I know I’m a freak about those things.
It’s desert pronounced two different ways, Mariah. This is why this task made my brain tired!
First it’s desert as in to leave or abandon
and then desert as in the mega sandy place -
rather than dessert as in the post-meal treat.
That’s just brilliant! Is it any wonder that the French people I meet daily struggle with English language and its pronunciation? CK, that brought a smile to my face. :) Thank you.
My pleasure, Geoffrey!
