Let's face it -- English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham inhamburger; neither apple nor pine in
pineapple. English muffins weren'tinvented in England nor French fries inFrance. Sweetmeats are candies while
sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

right on target. I demolished his
argument. I’ve never won anargument with her. You don’t

“LOVE IS A JOURNEY”
9 Sept 2013Tsm20
Our relationship has hit a dead-end street.It’s stalled; we can’t keep going the waywe’ve been going. Look how far we’vecome. It’s been a long, bumpy road. We
can’t turn back now. We are a crossroads.We may have to go our separate ways. Therelationship isn’t going anywhere. We’respinning our wheels. Our relationship is off
the track. Our marriage is on the rocks. I’mthinking of bailing out.
(Pinker 2008: 240)
