"English : A Weird Language" Let's face it English is a weird language There is no sand in a sandwich. No ham in a hamburger,🍔  And neither apple nor pine in pineapple. 🍎+🌲≠🍍  Quicksand takes you down slowly,  Boxing rings are square.🥊  "TO" is pronounced /tu:/ but "GO" is not /ɡu:/.  If writers write, how come fingers don't fing? 🖎 I f the plural of tooth is teeth, 𝩢 Shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth?  If a vegetarian eats vegetables, 🍅 What does a humanitarian eat?  When stars are out,they are visible, 🌠 But when lights are out they are invisible.💡  Why do people recite at a play yet play at a recital?🏄  And that's why you fill in a form by filling it out,  And a bell is only heard after it goes.🕭 And why when i wind up my watch , it starts⌚  but when i wind up this observation, it ends.
