excellent!!!, I have thought about some of the same ideas you mentioned. As a native Spanish speaker, sometimes it �s difficult to understand the root or meaning of some words that are really strange. Thumbs up for you!

There was a link on the forum to a blog written by a Dutch girl and it was about English paradoxes - very funny too. I can �t find it now... sorry. Does anybody remember?

This originally came from Richard Lederer �s Crazy English. Not sure if it �s still in print, but if you ever get a chance to read it, prepare to laugh yourself silly!
