Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble (learn) English? I hadn't, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there (be) ham in a hamburger. There isn't. This (sudden) made me realize that there's no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be crazy language to learn.
example, when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we are doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, but we don't get homesick when we get back home.
Even the (small) words in the world can be (puzzle). When you see the capitalized "WHO" in a medical report, do you read it as the "who" in "Who's that"? You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in a house can burn up as it burns down.
English (invent) by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, when I wind up this passage, it ends.
