    Engish IS easy - not.

    This was a puntuation lesson done by my wife when she was at school. Was asked to make sense of this by adding punctuation.

    John where Peter had had had had had had had had had had had had had the teachers approval

    John, where Peter had had, "had had", had had "had had had". "Had had" had had the teacher's approval.

        There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. Quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

            And there is all the "Where, were, wear, we're", which must be confusing to non English speaking people. Even a lot of English speakers write them wrongly as well as "Their, there and they're"

                          Whatever happened to the European language? I think it was called Esperanto or similar. Does anyone ever use it? And where would it be used?
