Default Re: TRICKY ENGLISH LANGUAGE...

Of all the languages I had to learn (and forget) as a child, American (English is a little easier, but not much) was at the top of my hate list. I winced every time we went back to the States. I truly hated this language -- it broke every rule ever made for it. To this day, I mentally think is-land before I say isle-land.
