Tell me Why?

I love English and its quirkiness makes me laugh. Here are some gems I'd like to share with you.

Tell me why:

Boxing rings are square

There is no egg in Eggplant and no ham in a Hamburger

'A wise Man' and 'A Wise guy' are opposites

A guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig

You have to marvel at a language where:

  • your house can burn up as it burns down
  • you fill in a form by filling it out
  • an alarm goes off by going on

English is a language that is an amalgham of many cultures and continues to adapt to the changing times.
