The English language is weird;
It can be understood through tough, thorough thought though. ________________________________________________
A Murder of Crows Back in the Middle ages someone decided that a group of crows should be called a murder. What do crows have to do with murder, who knows for certain. Some people believe that they are a sign of death, while others see them a sign of luck. This makes for a macabre collective noun. |

I wanted to return to The English language again. I want to talk aboutContractions. No, not the type that woman have during labor! Contractions, along with an Apostrophe are used to shorten words. In a world where everything seems to be abbreviated for our convenience to save time, unfortunately, even our language has fallen victim.

 As if there wasn't already enough confusion about the English language, I've found some popular everyday sayings and expressions. I must admit that it's been a while since I've heard a few of these, but it made me smile to remember them. I couldn't help myself but share them with you just to add to the mix and confusion! |

HAPPY NEW YEAR to my fellow book worms! You know how I enjoy the English Language, well I found a figure of speech that I had not heard of; HOMONYMN- what is it? A Homonymn is a word that has two completely different meanings. Here are a few examples to give you an idea: Tire: a rubber wheel to become exhausted Fire: smoke and flames to lose one's job |
