I think this race will give us a much better indication of who's better between he and Summer Bird.

Great-aunt English teacher taking control again. Between Summer Bird and HIM. Which do you say - between we? or between us? That gives you the clue. It's not that hard to speak (or type) literate English. The Sarge and his "for he and I" makes me want to climb the walls.

I've always suspected NTamm of illiteracy, especially after his BC Turf opinions!

Or was that Spencer? Maybe they are both illiterate?

Anyways Ann, that was a pretty funny post! Keep it up.

Considering your other posts today pertained to hi-jacking the threads about the Mr. Right and the Morvich with useless vignettes about their respective racing careers, your post to insult me is a gigantic improvement.

I hadn't been called illiterate in a while but everyone needs to be knocked down a peg. Especially from self-righteous know it alls with keyboards.

But you called a good race- I guess you're not colorblind, too!

Let's face it, English is a stupid language:

There is no egg in the eggplant,
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England,
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted, but if we examine its paradoxes we find that:
Quicksand takes you down slowly,
Boxing rings are square,
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing?
If the plural of tooth is teeth,
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth?
If the teacher taught,
Why hasn't the preacher praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables,
What the heck does a humanitarian eat?
Why do people recite at a play,
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways?
How can the weather be as hot as hell on one day
And as cold as hell on another?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language where a house can burn up as it burns down,
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers,
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all.)

That is why:
When the stars are out they are visible,
But when the lights are out they are invisible.
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts,
But when I wind up this poem
It ends.
