The English Language
I'm sure some of the words in the English language were originally created as a joke by some drunk professors at oxbridge on a good night out. I'm think they were taking the mickey but some how the words stuck.
1. Dyslexia.... Quite hard to spell. 2. Phonetically.... Not exactly spelt how you might pronounce it. 3. Lisp.... Oh come on it has an 's' in it! 4. Stutter.... Surely a double 't' only encourages the problem. Maybe it's just me but i'm sure there is plenty more out there. :P |
