English is Crazy

More craziness:

How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

you can make amends but not one amend.

In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital; ship by truck and send cargo by ship; have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

    That is why I love the English language! I'm an English teacher and loved to use these crazy bits to have fun in class. The books by Richard Lederer have always been a source of hilarity. Have you listened to his podcast?
