George Carlin on english.
Learning english, for non-english speaking people, is one of, if not the hardest languages to learn. Carlin, did a bit on it year's ago. Examples: Gnat, what the hell is th "g" for? Second, is pronounced/spelled the same, different meaning's. Word's like plaid, why is the "i" there? Should be spelled:, "plad", because laid, is pronounced "lade". There's a lot to be said (should be "sed"  , "ai" again, about phonics. Ph is "f"? I'm always running into, and questioning why, and have a ton of examples of the english grammer/language not making sense. I'm glad I was born into the english language, as I can't spell anyway, grammer the same, would hate to need to learn english. I also read and speak spanish, much easier, (I probably suck at it too. lol) but makes more sense than english. I'm gonna post more dumb-ass words too, just because it's fun to play with. Anyone else? (Thx George. R.I.P.)

Re: George Carlin on english.
Wow! Just thought of one, right after I posted this. Naked/baked. Just looking at the spelling, a non-english speaking person would assume they are pronounced the same. But is it (ba-ked) as (na-ked). Oh, one thing in spanish I can't figure out; "H", not pronouncd, as in the city, Hauchuca, (Wa-choo-ka), or, Chihauhua (damn, I have 2 of them , can't spell it). Anyway. (Chi-wa-wa). H's, in spanish, are like the "G", in gnat, no sound. Why have it? (Suppose being up on grammer in any language helps, huh. lol)

Re: George Carlin on english.
Ok perve, I'll give you another. Hail and hale. Sound the same, spelled and mean different. How the hell can ANYONE, figure it all out, if you're not a native? Again, I have many examples, plz share your's. (Mane and main. Then the state of Maine?)

Re: George Carlin on english.
No and know. Pronounced the same, not the same. How spelling know, noe. As the "G" in gnat, is silent, we can set the g, w, and k on a shelf, to use in words that can use them later. Adding the E to no is ok, we seem to have plenty of them. Too, have to lose the W, as in my experience, is a nother word, can. Can we do it? Garbage can. Maybe we could use the g, k, or w that are on the shelf, and make a new word? Anyone following what I'm saying about english?

Re: George Carlin on english.
Let me explain this one. C. What for?. C makes the S and K sound. I think them bad boys can handle thier own. (not Carlin, perve). Your think, "How do we make the ch, as in cheese sound?" Glad you asked. In spanish, double L, as in calle (roughly means street), is pronounced, as a short Y. You see where I going here huh? Now, eliminate the c from cook, make it kook. Any words with ck in them, lose the c. The k take's care of it good. What do we do with the c? Simple, make it feel important and needed again, give it the ch sound all by itself. Problem solved. Now no one get all intellectual on me, you all know I can't hang there. lol. Me, smart? No, just paying attention.

Re: George Carlin on english.
Read/reed, you catch my drift, ok. But my point here is, 2 vowels in a row, make them long sounds. Why doe's the rule change in a word like "said"? Again, how doe's a non-english spoken person, ever get it? Hell, I don't. Really? Ya really perve.

Re: George Carlin on english.
Are we having fun yet perve? I think so!  Did you notice no one's paying attention? Really? Could've knocked me over with a feather on that revelation. Yuk, yuk, yuk. And what about those soft and hard "G's"? Correct me if I'm wrong. (Imagine that!) Don't we havd J's to handle the soft G sound's? Who came up with that dumb idea anyway. I can just hear it now, "Hey! Let's screw with some grammer, and thow in a G, that sounds like a J? That just be funny right there now. " (LTCG) Go figure?

Re: George Carlin on english.
Body. As I recall way back in school, a vowel, followed by a consenent, and another vowel, give the first vowel, a long sound. I know y and w are only part-time vowels. In the case of a word like "body", the y, is a vowel. So why does'nt the O, make a long sound? Is'nt a rule a rule? Huh, huh, huh?

Re: George Carlin on english.
Anothes slant. If the "G" is silent in gnat, as there are many other words that have silent letters, why should'nt we be able to break the rules even more? Take the word "can" just for the hell of it for example. Lets pronounce it "an". Now we ask, whats the "C" for if its silent? Beats the shit out of me? Just following the "gnat" rule I guess. Oh perve, your such a scholar. (or nuckin futs, one) Did I mention I'm naked too?

Well, the ole perves talking to himself again. Does'nt get any better than this huh? (Dumb-ass!). Anyway, while in my "office" a bit ago, got what I was trying to convey. If the "G" is silent in gnat, would it stand to reason we make another rule, to pronounce a letter that IS'NT these? Thus, "an" is assumed pronounced "can". It's a beautiful thing huh? (Don't even want me to go off on the sillyness of "J" and "G"

Re: George Carlin on english.
Child, of all the things I might be good with, I fail at English and prounciation. I just never really got the basics. I recall reading a paragraph in school with the word speedometer, which throughout, I prounounced speed-O (long O), meter, rather than spee-dom-eter.
I seriously didn't understand why everyone was laughing, until I looked at my gf, who was also laughing, and she let me know.
