40 Times People Were Confused By The English Language

Who's up for the defenestration of Donald Trump. I say we do it overmorrow.

*mind blown*

You just ruined the ending for me!

This is genius!

Oh s**t.

It took me a while to remember which one is positive and which one is negative between horriffic and terrfic...

I feel you dude

This is definitely really interesting!

That is incredible ha ha

We have the exact same word in french and with the same meaning ... others meaning too ;)

In french it's called Double-V

English pronunciation was invented by Satan

What profession is a handyman in then?

Brits also use 'Quite' in a sarcastic manner if agreeing with someone (who they don't agree with).

This is my kind of pun

no one knows

I sent a cent with a peculiar scent.

Two questions, same answer: because you don't wash properly.

America explain... I am confusion!!

I’ve also heard, “I before E except when your feisty foreign neighbor Keith leisurely receives eight counterfeit beige sleighs from caffeinated atheist weightlifters. Weird.”

The last two lines may read incorrect until said...

I'd rather not do either or do neither.

one is used by the people of sarcasm and one is used by regular people

This made more sense than it should've

There's a broadcasted spelling competition for the Dutch language as well ^^ Dutch is easier though, makes more sense :)

If this isn’t true, it should be

When I hear someone say "the other day", I assume it's something within a month. I never think someone would mean something they did like a year ago

I wonder if uncovered wagons were the first form of mass transportation so you literally were "on" it.

Stefan: good efening

Fridge is a slang shortening of one of the original refrigerators - Fridgidaire...

Same way that the sentence "I never said she stole all my money" takes on a completely different meaning depending upon which particular word you emphasise…

Because it has nothing to do with the words man/woman and comes from Latin humanus

Because it's Zoë, but everyone forgets the importance of umlauts

Heh. This one is cute. ♥

WATCH ME! You can food anything if you just eat it.

Because "Philippines" is in English while "Filipino/Filipina" is Spanish. No need to stress out. In Spanish the country is Filipinas. All is well, they're just words in two different languages!

Y’all.

One is AWful, the other is AWEsome. Maybe here lies the difference.

WTF is balogna?!

You mean man's laughter isn't the same as manslaughter? Hmmm maybe I should reconsider my hobbies

Because baked comes from the stem word "bake" so all you have to do is add the d in pronunciation. Whereas naked IS the stem word, so it has its own pronunciation. Confusing I know

Shrek... LOL!

To be correct this would need to be ten-one

Try saying you'll meet a Continental European at "Half Eight" and see what time he arrives...

Ever learned German? It doesn't just change the specific of the verb... it changes the whole meaning. "wenden" - to turn, "verwenden" - to use, "abwenden" - to avert, "zuwenden" - to give care/love/attention. That game can be played with pretty much any verb...

I'm sorry to say, but in that case the proofreaders language skills were just lacking.

But you can find two mistakes from proof reading!

It's weird the veil of this lie has reigned since ancient times. It's ageing well. Being that it's on my conscience, I'll ignore it's deficiencies and feign adherence to this insufficient and heinous rule.
