Strange peculiarities of the English language
Preview
1. The ability to use a noun as a verb
For example: To father children. To leg it.
2. And then he said... like: "Get out of my driveway!"
The word like and then, so to speak, an impersonation of what a person has done or what something is like.
3. "There is both a council and a commission."
The word both, which makes it appear as if something naturally has two parts
4. "A pair of scissors"
They are one tool, though
5. Do you know him?
The word “do” is actually superfluous in this use.
6. You are
Are is plural. What happened to the singular form “thou”?
