I quite agree and if this was a poem I'd give it a five and then start a long comment but it's not so I'll shall say this: English and every other language has it's flaws but since we are so used to using it we don't really see it till someone points it out to us.

Oh it's not by me....I forgot to mention this....

I just came across it somehow...and thought i'd better share.

Damn...I'll miss your comment mori chan( i hope you don't mind me calling you this)....:P

My ESL teacher used to say:

(Before I understood English ) she used to say, " English is crazy. It has rules but every rule has an exception."

Interesting read, though!

Thanks for sharing :)
