English is the only language where you drive on parkways and park in driveways.
It’s also the only language where you recite in a play and play in a recital.
Your fingers have fingertips, but your toes don’t have toetips.
Yet you can tiptoe, but not tipfinger.
The word queue is just a “Q” followed by four silent letters.
“Jail” and “prison” are synonyms, but “jailer” and “prisoner” are antonyms.
When you transport something by car, it’s called a shipment.
When you transport something by ship, it’s called cargo.
English is fun.
@CoaldaleAB My street got cleaned today. It would've been nice to know that today was the day the sweeper was going to be down my street though. No signs at all. I don't have a driveway, so I would've moved my vehicle if I knew what day the sweeper was coming.
@sskroughriders Congrats on an outstanding career Mitch! I loved watching you play! You reminded me of Rob Bagg so much with your dependable hands. You could catch the ball from anywhere and make a play. Enjoy the next chapter!
There are 2 types of people in this world: those who can't relax when there are dishes in the sink and those who don't even notice them.
And they end up marrying each other.
