Weird Things

[Todd]

If I can be overwhelmed or underwhelmed, when am I just whelmed? Is it right now, and I've just not noticed...?

Why is 2 spelled two? Surely that's t'whoa.... :-/

Anyone else wanna share some weird thoughts?

Oh, and while your at it, have a read of my book, Racing Dragons. You can get it from http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00CN... or https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

Thanks! --Todd

The reason 2 is spelled that way is because of Elmer Fudd. (Bugs Bunny's nemesis) Fudd spoke with a lisp, and referred to Bugs as That Wacky Wabbit. One day Fudd was chasing Bugs with a shotgun, determined to do him bodily harm. Bugs made his escape by jumping on a too-too train, and Fudd exclaimed, "Dang! That wacky wabbit made it to the two-two twain. Homonyms are the curse of the English language.

I've always wanted to know why Abbreviation is such a long word and why is Dyslexia so hard to spell?

[Humberto]

And why 'on' and 'in' are so quirky to use in many - or is it on many - conditions. The rules are as confusing as the usage.

Oh. I forgot to mention my latest novel. A Criminal with Ethics.

'Monolingual' is half Greek and half Latin, whereas 'bilingual' is all Latin. So 'monolingual' is bilingual, and 'bilingual' is monolingual.

Speaking as a dysletic I'm with you David. What sadistic child born out of wedlock spells a word like that when it discribes people who have a literacy handycap?

Still in al you can't let it win.

Indeed! I think it's the same 'committee' that decided that lisp was a good word to describe THAT particular affliction.

[Stephen]

With you on that.
