FIRST DAY
BACK TO SCHOOL...
ASK YOUR
ENGLISH TEACHER ABOUT THESE... There is no egg in eggplant, no ham in hamburger, neither apple nor pine in pineapple. And
while no one knows what is in a hot dog, you can be pretty sure it isn't canine.
English muffins were not invented in England nor French fries in France.
Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbread s, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work
slowly, boxing rings are square, and guinea pigs are neither from Guinea nor are they pigs.
And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't
ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth,
why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, two geese. So one
moose, two meese? Is cheese the plural of choose? One mouse, two mice. One louse, two lice.
One house, two hice? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers
praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Why do people recite at a play, and play at a recital? Ship by truck or car and send cargo by
ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on
parkways? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are
opposites? How can the weather be hot as heck one day and
cold as heck another? When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm clock goes off by going on. You
get in and out of a car, yet you get on and off a bus. When the stars are out, they are visible, but
when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it?
