(My (Collective) Anglo-Norman Noun Knowledge) Is All Over The Place, Yes, That is correct; in babble.com I scored 50/50-And Because of An Unease of Compromises I Am The Pity of Criticism- A language is like a Railway-and how do You travel the railway, is it by reversing every once in a while or do you travel in a straight direction towards Your destination as I do-my language thus travels >>> but Your language travels ><>< and >> (et cetera et cetera).Your way albeit by Your culture seemingly correct is a more cumbersome way to transport KNOWLEDGE with the help of that Railway..!
Language needs rules, but remember that those rules are depending on Your Cultural Stands, thus alienating Your Language from it's Anglo-Norman Heritage..!-Swearing and foul language Makes You an Alien in Relation To Your language. Thus missing both the Railway and the Knowledge needed to mend with Your own Society..!

    If you mean the vagaries of the English language, check this out...



    Or this...

    Let’s face it
    English is a stupid language.
    There is no egg in the eggplant
    No ham in the hamburger
    And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
    English muffins were not invented in England
    French fries were not invented in France.

    We sometimes take English for granted
    But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
    Quicksand takes you down slowly
    Boxing rings are square
    And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

    If writers write, how come fingers don’t fing.
    If the plural of tooth is teeth
    Shouldn’t the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
    If the teacher taught,
    Why didn’t the preacher praught.

    If a vegetarian eats vegetables
    What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
    Why do people recite at a play
    Yet play at a recital?
    Park on driveways and
    Drive on parkways

    You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
    Of a language where a house can burn up as
    It burns down
    And in which you fill in a form
    By filling it out
    And a bell is only heard once it goes!

    English was invented by people, not computers
    And it reflects the creativity of the human race
    (Which of course isn’t a race at all)

    That is why
    When the stars are out they are visible
    But when the lights are out they are invisible
    And why it is that when I wind up my watch
    It starts
    But when I wind up this observation,
    It ends.

    I'm not sure where this originated, hence no attribution, but if you should happen to know, tell me and I'll be happy to include it.
