Mullytt 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2007 I'll add: Irregardless =/= a word. Also, if you're not interested in something, the correct saying is "I couldn't care less", not "I could care less". As in, "It would be physically impossible for me to care any less about that.". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryee 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2007 I guess this is one , why are bomb , tomb , comb , all pronounced differently? and why is Thomas pronounced like Tomas . A lot of these differences came about in the "Great Vowel Shift", a phenomenon that began during the 1500s as Middle English began it's evolution to Modern English. In Middle English, there were around 15 unique vowel sounds (not letters), whereas today Modern English has only about 11. Some of the sounds we lost merged into others, while some became diphthongs, and Modern English completely lost some original sounds. Middle English was the last form of english where vowels were "pronounced how they looked", like Latin for example. Consider the following 15 words; Time, See , East, Name, Day, House, Moon, Stone, Know, Law, Knew, Dew, That, Fox, Cut In Middle English, each of these words had a unique vowel sound. However in Modern English, we have merged see and east, name and day, stone and know, and knew and dew. In Shakespeare and Chaucer's time, the words food, good, and blood all had the same long vowel (u)--that is, they all rhymed with the way we say food today. In The Taming of the Shrew, shrew rhymed with woe. So the answer to your question is, English sucks, and is one of the most arbitrary languages in existence--seriously.

Drunknduncan 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2007 So the answer to your question is, English sucks, and is one of the most arbitrary languages in existence--seriously. But it doesn't suck as much as French. When translated to German, all French words mean, "I surrender." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
