Let’s face it. English is a crazy language.

There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England nor French fries in France.

Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

Mincemeat is sweet and doesn’t contain any meat at all.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor a pig.
And why is it that writers write, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham ?

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth, beeth ? If on your foot your wear a boot, then on your feet you should wear beet. One goose, 2 geese. So, one mouse, 2 meese ? One mouse, 2 mice so one house, 2 hice ? One index, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend ? You can be disgruntled but not gruntled ? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it ?

If teachers taught, why don’t preachers praught ? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat ? If I drink and get drunk, can I think what I thunk ?

Sometimes I think all English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital ? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship ?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, whilst a wise man and a wise guy are opposites ? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out they are visible but when the lights are out they are invisible.

There is a two letter word that perhaps has more meaning than any other two letter word, and that is “UP”. It is easy to understand UP, meaning towards the sky or the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning why do we wake UP ?

At a meeting, why does the topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP the report?

We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.

At other times the little word has real special meaning … people stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP.

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost ¼ of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways in which UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don’t give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn’t rain for a while, things dry UP.

One could go on and one but I will wrap this UP for now my time is UP, so it’s time to shut UP.

PS. Why doesn’t “Buick “rhyme with “quick” ?

Employee:  Great!  It's a deal!  Thank you, sir!
 
Boss:  Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies were after you?
Employee:  Oh, the Electric Company, Gas Company, Water Company and the Mortgage Company!
