I didn’t know what to call this article because I didn’t know what the article would be about. That’s just a fact of life with we hack writers. Writes write!
Anyway, I decided to call it Humor: The Funniest Article Ever Written!
That would get me started and I could change the article title later.
But isn’t it funny that:
You add an “h” to “hug,” you get Hugh. Since the “h” is silent in England you would think you would get “hug” right back again. In England is Hugh Grant called Hug? No!
You add an “e” to hop and you get “hope” but if you add an “e” to “to,” you get “toe.” That “e” can change an “ah” sound to “oh” or an “uuh” like in “you” to “oh.” Oh, yes! Add an “e” to “trip” and you get “tripe” and who wants that?
I like Spanish where vowels behave themselves.
And you can spell “rough” as “ruff” both of which are pronounced “ruhf.”
You know what your spell checker will do with “ruhf.
“Ruff” is that “stiffly starched frilled or pleated circular collar of lace, muslin, or other fine fabric, worn by men and women in the 16th and 17th centuries.”
Oh, you play bridge!
I think that we should spell “rough” and “ruff” “ruf”. See http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ruff
Here’s a list of new spellings:
Mississippi Misipee
Utah Utaw (not oohtah, say the “U.”)
Southwest North Mexico
Italians don’t live in Eyetalee. They live in ITally! Theyare not EYEtalians.
