Hey Pandas, What Are Some English Language Oddities? (Closed)
The word "tomorrow" contains three o's, and they are all pronounced differently.
Whether a word is the "right" word may depend on a contraction: "It's passed its expiration date" is correct if "it's" stands for "it has", but "It's past its expiration date" is correct if "it's" stands for "it is."
Which oddities grab your attention?

This isn't really odd but more related to dialect. For us certain words have different meaning. For example: 1. Ignorant means stupid...for us it means you get angry a lot. 2. Lime is a fruit...for us it means to hang out. 3. Horse is an animal...for us it's a term of endearment for a friend, also spelt "Hoss"
