language trouble!!? :)
Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn:
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail
18) After a number of injections my jaw got number.
19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests
21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
22) I’ll cleave to you until you cleave us a apart.
There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it 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? One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? Is it an odd or an end? If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? 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? 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.
P.S. - Why doesn’t “Buick” rhyme with “quick”?

Ценность времени
Чтобы понять значение года, поговорите со студентом, не сдавшим сессию.
Для того, чтобы понять ценность одного месяца, поговорите с матерью, родившей недоношенного ребёнка.
Чтобы понять ценность одной недели, поговорите с редактором еженедельной газеты.
Чтобы понять ценность одного часа, поговорите с влюблёнными, ожидающими встречи.
Чтобы понять ценность одной минуты, поговорите с теми, кто опоздал на поезд.
Чтобы понять ценность одной секунды, поговорите с тем, кто только что не попал в автомобильную аварию.
Чтобы понять ценность одной миллисекунды, поговорите со спортсменом, завоевавшим серебряную медаль на Олимпийских играх.
О наносекунде спросите у проектировщика «железа».
Вчера – уже история. Завтра – вообще не понятно что.
Сегодня – это дар. Поэтому оно и называется НАСТОЯЩИМ.
Хироку Мураками.
