Lynn told me about this one. I think it was some comedian who came up with this. For more details, see post 3.

Ah, not a real word, just funning around with the incongruities of the English language. Okay then.

iphone samantha also says fish, but i prefer to say it like goty, because i want to differentiate ghoti from fish.

I have many things to say about English. Even thought I'm a native speaker of the language, there's just some weird things about it. Why is there an i after the e in weird? It Should be spelled with an a after the e. I've see this happen a few times. Bear and beer. You would think that beer is spelled like bear, because e a makes an e sound. But beer is spelled with two Es, and bear is spelled with an e a. But if it's changed, then the name for a bear is going to have to change. Also some examples of silent letters at the beginning. Knock, knot, gnat, psychologist, pseudo, and know. We could just take the k out of knock and knot, same with knife, which I did not mention. With know, you will have to change the spelling a little more. Maybe spell it n o e, because now is spelled n o w. Why does c have two different sounds. What's the point of c and x anyways when x can be remade with a cs or a ks, and k can take the c sound, while s takes the other c sound. Why is ceiling spelled not anything like it is supposed to spell. It's a sealing of the house, not a ceiling.
Anything can work. Just decide how much, or what you would like to subject for said thing to work.

I think, me being from Canada, a lot of people have a hard time not roling their R sounds. We especially knowtice this when we speak to french people. Every other language the R sound is roled where as in english it's not. Unless of corse you are from scotland.
All of you are amazing. Never forget it!

In German it also isn't like that. Only in bavaria.
Going back to English, what's the difference between island and isle? Are they synonyms?

They are interchangeable I suppose.

An island is land surrounded by water on all sides. In English, people like to be lazy and make things easier for the rest of us. I'll means I will, for example, I'l go to the store. Some others but the n't is not, don't, couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't. They mean do not, would not, could not, and should not. There's you'd which means you would. I'm is I am, I'd is I would, and you've means you have.

Haha, good one Enes. As for your post, Alden, I advice you to look at the spelling. Of course I know this basic rule with shortening stuff in English. I meant i s l e, not the short of I will.

If I'm not mistaken, isle is more of a book expression while island is generic. Don't trust me tho, I'm not a native.

An island is land surrounded on all sides by water. An isle is a small island or peninsula.

So an isle could be a peninsula as well? Didn't know that.

Yes, I understand what was meant. but it does screw up the screenreader-lol!
The thing I don't like as a native English speaker is homophones - due, dew, ffor/four. I keep getting 'em mixed up.
