In my confusion I asked a ton of questions, starting off by trying to figure out why your house can burn up as it burns down, or how your alarm goes off by actually turning on. How do we fill out a form? By filling it in!
Have you ever wondered why quicksand is slow, why there's no egg in eggplant, and pine nor apples in pineapples? Did you know that ham isn't in hamburgers (its actually not even pork), and that boxing rings aren't rings.. but squares? If a guinea pig (which isn't a pig) isn't from Guinea.. where's it from?
Oh man...
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
The List:
1) Farms produce produce
2) There was a sticker of a bass on the bass guitar
3) She shed a tear when she noticed the tear
4) Polish the Polish furniture
5) When the buck sees the does, he does strange things
Its a good thing that Buick doesn't rhyme with quick, because it just sounds funny. But common sense fails us when we are taught (teachers taught.. preachers praught?) that the plural of tooth isn't tooths, but teeth instead, and then we have to say the plural of booth.
Good job on learning English. Can you think of any weird "creative" things out there?
