Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog 
Lol! Great post. I love how K.D. Dowdall referred to the English language as a Spaghetti language. 🙂

Our American English language is a hodgepodge of languages from around the world and generation after generation of grammarians have tried to fit a square peg into a round hole (whole), making up rules that make no sense. I simply see a lack of creativity when it comes to words: pronunciation, spelling, and meaning. We are left with a a spaghetti language. It would have been so much better just to adopt the British version of English, perhaps. Karen 🙂

The mongrelness of english is part of its charm and popularity, Karen – and you can even adapt and make words up that sound plausible (see mongrelness above) 😄😄😄

This is true and I sometimes forget that we do have that ability and I love that. However, pronunciation can be difficult because the grammatical rules don’t seem to reflect the spoken language very well, although I know grammarians are correct. Thank you for pointing out the positive aspects of our American English! Karen 🙂

Yeah, I love it when I can find communication confusion without having to learn a new language.
