Understanding English!
I would like to discuss the english language, actualy the spelling of it.
As You all know, I don't spell to good, Never could grasp the concept of Nouns, pronouns, verbs, action verbs. I learned more from "conjunction junction whats your function" than school, and still at my age, I do not get it!! Words Good and the word Food! They both have the last three letters but sound diffrent when pronouncing. so food should be fud, or good should be goed! knive's shouldn't have a K if it is silent, the letter is just sitn there! poor and pore-- Enough said on that one. Bud and bud light, don't they weigh the same? :lol: Tire and Tire, mean diffrent things on is you tire'd the other is a tire. peer, tyre-- why can't it be pyre or teer. canopea, why cant it be a can of corn. stern and learn, what about lern or stearn. ????????????????????????????

Sanction.
It can be either a positive thing (a race sanctioned by NASCAR): or a negative thing (The gov't will impose sanctions on those who do not comply with..). Laughter. Pronounced: LAFF-ter. Add an "S" and it become Slaughter - pronounced: SLAW-ter. Go figure. Probably irrelevant in the near future anyway. Tenemos que aprender espanol!!

Nice to chat with ya Littleman, been a long time! As for Gallager, I never knew he did this, don't much care for him. As for the subject, those are real subjects and things I truly do not understand.
