I failed English in High School
                                  Could not understand the writing rule 
                            If I say, when it reigns it pores, people agree
              Yet when I write the same phrase people say what’s wrong with me  

             I before E (accept) after C less it sounds like an a as in neighbor or weigh
                               Where do the words foreign and sovereign (steigh)
             Do they stay with a goose among geese or with a moose among (meese)
             Do they live in a house with a scavenger mouse or something much bigger
                             Is there several (hice) with several scavenger mice

I Hate the English Language

A friend advised "Cheer up, buddy, and don't be blue",
strange of him to say that just when I was feeling low.
I was thinking, what was so colorful about being sad,
only showed his English vocabulary was awfully bad.

"Don't vote for Obama, he is untested and green",
how come, I wondered, when he clearly got black skin.
It can't be that he descended from leaves or something,
darn it, I'm linguistically challenged and confused again.

Down with a flu virus I was told to take plenty of orange,
that crazy doctor must really be kinda stupid or dense.
He couldn't have meant dyeing my few remaining hair,
unless that weirdo was moonlighting as a hairdresser.

Once, running scared from a fight, I was called yellow,
I did not get it, maybe because I'm a Chinese mestizo?
At home my amazon wife who learned about the run-in
promptly served for dinner a whole piece of chicken.

"Why chicken," I asked, "when you know I'm a vegetarian?"
"You earned it, sissy, when away from that fight you ran!"
"You're deep," I said, "I don't get what you mean, honey,"
to which she replied "Just finish your dinner, turkey!"

Hm, different colors, then chicken followed by a turkey,
I'd never understand these things until my dying day.
Damn that English language putting me in this mess,
better shift to Arabic, Tagalog, French or Cantonese.

Is it Proper to say I LOVE Ewe to a sheepherder?
Is it proper for a lumberjack to say I LOVE Yew?
Is the Poplar the most Popular of trees?
Yule be surprised  when there are no Presence under the tree

A little bee flew across the sea, to see what he could be
He herd a giraffe with a throaty laugh : still continued on his weigh
This pour we bee had too pee  so he stopped on a Specific Ocean Eyelid
It took him severed ours to pollinated  Pollynesian flours and than he flue away
If Yew can reed this rite yore a better POET then Eye

Premium Member The English Language Ain'T Easy

If you think the English language is easy to speak, 
Perhaps you have a thing, or two, to learn. 
You might say “axed” when you mean “asked” 
When is it appropriate to say “dang,” “darn,” or “durn?” 

“Advice” or “advise,” ”accept” or “except,” --a curse 
Tempted to use “illicit” when you mean “elicit?” 
Misusing “averse” when you mean “adverse?” 
If you are not careful, you will completely botch it. 

“Farther” and “further” are especially difficult: 
One describes distance, the other quantity, or degree, 
“Hanged” or “hung” present similar predicaments, 
In both cases one word should do, but don’t “axe” me. 

Who knew “ingenious” and “ingenuous” aren’t the same, 
And few folks get “nauseous” and “nauseated” right. 
Do you have “relatives” or “relations” or “relationships?” 
If you want to quote an authority, do you use “site” or “cite”? 

What is the difference between “already” and “all ready?” 
Which one is correct “could care less” or “couldn’t care less? 
Not to mention when you use “altogether” or “all together,” 
Is it “there’s” “theirs,” “they’re”, its or it’s --what a mess! 

“Continual” or “continuous,” and “fewer” or “less,”  
“Conscience” and “conscious” lead some folks astray. 
Are you “enthused” or “enthusiastic,” “infer” or “imply? 
I hesitate to bring up the inevitable “can” or “may!” 

So, “them” or “those” foreigners should learn "our tongue;" 
It’ll make life simpler, “to,” “two” or “too,” for everyone. 
“Who” or “whom?” -- please, let’s give these folks a break  
Because English is not so easy, when all is said and done!

The English Language

Only read this if you have a good understanding of the English language, because it is all about how word spellings differ but for no particular reason.

This write is quite right in that it highlights the height and weight of the great language of English which is no sandwich and not straight forward mate.

(This right is qite wright in that it highlites the hight and waight of the greight langwich of English witch is no sanduage and not strate forward meight.)

We now know that "K" has special powers but not with knot or knock.

(We now K-now that "k" has special powers but not with not or nock.)

And people say Nike-y but they don't ride a bikey, so it's Nike like Mike.

(and people say Nikey but they don't ride a bikey, so it's NIKe LIKE MIKE, or mic.)

While they're unable to get their head around there,
they sit in a chair and stare like a bear, which is spelt like fear and hear but is pronounced no where near, but like fare which is also like bare.

(While there unable to get they're head around their,
they sit in a chere and stair like a bere, which is spelt like fear and hear but is pronounced no where nare, but like fair which is also bere.)

Far away cars on Mars are not said like wars, which for sure is more like bore and I'm assured that board is different to ward.

Warlords have been found to have had people drowned, not dround as it could sound, as the power of their throne has grown to fit their waist and they do not waste their God placed authority or make the mistake that the steak with cheese one grates quakes.

On the whole my soul is on a roll to score a goal with this write, because though words are spelt a different way they are spelt the same when these words we say.

I think I'm done and I've won like the Holy Son, or am shining wholly like the light from the sun.

And to think I had special needs, was labelled dyslexic and had ADHD, oh and as well as that I failed my English exam, twice.

Anglophone Aficionado Exudes Infatuation With English Language Number 1

Versus me 
(chilling as an outsize ego freezer)
profusely perspiring 
and heavily panting
experiencing one after another 
stuff whet dreams are made
frolicking in autumn mist
(think Maxfield Parrish painting)
while skirt chasing
and playfully tackling,
a gamesome gamine with verve
mercilessly coquettish ingenue
"precociously seductive"
overgrown Lolita wannabe.

Solitude and introvertedness
mebbe made more manifest destiny
courtesy severe nasal notable twang
(otherwise known as split uvula)
yours truly wittingly drew taunts
and unutterable pang
to escape being bullied as scapegoat
entering magical world
of mine imagination
fostered learning about
all creatures great and small
by age appropriate books.

Logophile lusts ever stronger after
twenty six letter combinations
(analogously surrendering to mistress)
that yield an estimated 171,146 words
currently in use in the English language;
according to the Oxford English Dictionary,
an additional 47,156 obsolete words exist.

I luxuriate engrossed
with choice reading material
and out of desperation
to slake insatiable thirst
(to discern syllabification)
yours truly doth read aloud
intently hearing cadence
of vowels and consonants.

Up until I entered six grade
(at Henry Kline elementary -
a one classroom per grade - school)
classmates bullied, derided,
and feigned to hammer -
jabbing leering, nasty
pimping ragout as a rule
which boyhood self of mine
availed a perfect bullseye target
with combination of diminutiveness,

being painfully quiet,
essentially remaining mum the entire day
except when called upon to answer question
thence utterance emanating between lips
produced and emitted
a strong nasal sound to boot
grist for the mill
sans malice meted, mimicked,
and mocked mashup
of mine warped congestion.

Premium Member DECODING a FractioN of the ENGLISH LANgUAgE?

Here is a fraction of half the 
Examples which I call decoding.
Yeah decoding the Inglish language.
Hey now hear in this damnation
The Inglish dominance is learned 
And deplorable.

All right  alright. And just how did 
You sleap last knight?  Ah ha hoho!
The knight was gloryous. We the
Postering population was quite
Quiet. I say the more of US the merryer!
Or the moor of US the scaryer!
Hmm is that TRUth TRUE?
We trust u must no this and plus
The gist of it is we have know resun
TWo lye. DU we lie with Lyers?
After all what else wood we du?
Due u no the anser? Do u and you
No the anser to-- how manee hears
EYE  have Up on meye hed? And Y  R  U 
Balled? Speek up do not B missLed
A stray. Ah so let us sea then now.
The letter W was once a double U
Then later became a double  V.
U C. You sea? Mak know no misstak
About it. Wile Eye hav you their.
Eye kneed two ask who really cares
About decoding the English language?
It must have ben a secret slanguage
Before it became a standard bit of
Average Inglish. Is that absurd?
Did you here me? Oh eye
See you R mayb  def. Mmm. What
Is welcome or wellcome a
 well coming? Wel, Here's the cusp at 
the cleft. In Inglish a heir is a hair is a hare is
We be here four  U hear we R. We
Are higher. We will hire you if u R
Rite for the job. If you aspire,
Appropriately. We breathe hier air
To. Do we not? We have not forgot.
Yeh, of corse we du. For instance 
It be gins again agan agan into
Persistence! 

The free and freer fearing fierce 
Firing from far and fair one. How
Fare are they? Do thay faer us? Due
They? Hair us? Com with the
Anser  kwikly! What due you say
Bcuz all of these wurds to me 
Seems tu b connected.  Do you
Think so? Is their actually an
Alphabetical conspiracy? Wat is
The Truth? The tooth of it? Speek 
With your good teeth. Know this
That all these truths R tru Blu 
And the truth to the tooth WILL always
B. No-thing Ill of will aspire 
Greatfully. Do u regret we be truthfully?
Know we do not ever! Always 
Forever dwelling in resplendence.
Reminiscing in remembrance.
TRUTH  is beautiful!!!
Remember and recall this!!!
Do not evr fourget it.

Meaning of Life

Meaning  of Life
Why you get your life to live ? 
This life is less to live because many
Problems are arising like world war and many 
More like Corona, they killed many 
People’s and many animals so 
Till this life take a breath and do so
Good works feel as you were to so
Going to die so be clever about life so
Help people by giving them money to.
As well as food, clothes and do
Cares of them show as you were living too
For them, nobody others can help beside you 
So to be a great hero this time is giving you
Opportunity, so grab it and run fast
You have done many kinds of mistakes at last
Time of your life so to purify them now not in last 


Time to the people if you will don’t take care
You will take care of them, who will care
Them, they are very much helpless and poor, rare
Them, go it is time, this time is coming in a 
Million of years, if you have breath and a
Life do these things, if you don’t do all
These things you will be a villian and fall
Down character, so if you have life all
People will be helped by you prove to all
So, that you can be a great man for those 
So, you can do it go it is your turn to those
Care, love, rare them so God will be happy to those.

Anglophone Aficionado Exudes Infatuation With English Language Number 2

Ah, twas only by a fluke conversation,
whence a speech pathologist
informed my parents about
the Lancaster Cleft Palate clinic,
where oral an examination
revealed minor birth defect
identified as a submucous cleft palate,
which explained the severe pinched twang
somewhat mitigated by wearing
a removable prosthetic
fashioned by Prosthodontist

Dr. Mohammad Mazaheri MSC, DDS
fastened with clasps to upper teeth
whereby a makeshift miniature
plastic protuberance closed the gap
so air would be prevented
passing thru my button nose
and thus gentle and soft as a shutterfly
shunted air out thee oral opening
though congenital defect disallowed
returning merchandise back to sender
nor could blame be affixed

at either father nor mother
who both harbored the genetic mutation
now such admissions
re: aforementioned impediment allows,
enables and provides boasting rights
if in a mood to temper
any curiosity or satisfying a rumor
whispered down the alley,
whence I said “ah”
left nagging nincompoops
as if pie hole filled with a gobstopper.

English Language

??????????????
O! English Language
How many forms you transformed
How many tongues you twisted
How many people are terrified
Of your complexity
How many people enjoyed
Of your proximity
Began your career as local
Spread out across global
You are crown to the Speakers
Unknown to the fearers
You are treated as Royal
to be loyal
Your dominance existed for a long time
Who dared to beat your expansion
You entered our land long ago
Became part & parcel with ego
Gave us life
to teach you & make others triumph
Thank you !
Ever grateful to you.
??????????????
Quote: Love & Fear can't
 Stay together.
If you love English ,it will dance on your tongue.

There's only about 17 words in the english language
Most have 153 meanings, each day of those entered
Seems some disagree
But got proof I decree
How many meanings for the simple word “present”

Eyes That Can'T See

Open as wide as the Canyon
but still they can't see

Every day they witness Evil
but still they can't see

Heart ache and pain in full view
but still they can't see

Blessed with perfect eyesight
so how is it these eyes can not see
