Why You Shouldn’t Use Words You Don’t Know the Meaning of

I never actually thought this as a kid, but I can imagine other young children have thought this.

He’s most likely an adult -_-

I’m 18, so I am an adult now.

Yeah, English is a weird language. For example:

- A guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor a pig,
- a house burns up by burning down,
- an alarm goes off by going on,
- you fill in a form by filling it out,
- you bounce off a trampoline by bouncing on it, (an example of my own)
- a slim chance and a fat chance are the same,
- a wise man and a wise guy are opposites,
- boxing rings are square,
- quicksand works slowly,
- English muffins weren't invented in England,
- french fries weren't made in France,
- Father is Pop, but Mother is not Mop,
- fingers don't fing, grocers don't grace, and hammers don't ham,
- there's no egg in eggplant, no ham in hamburger, and neither apple nor pine in pineapple,
- we can make amends but not one amend,
- we have noses that run and feet that smell,
- we park in a driveway and drive in a parkway,
- we recite at a play and play at a recital,
- we ship by car and send cargo by ship, and
- if a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

The language can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.
