HARD SPELLING

 HARD SPELLING 

IT  is said that an Inspector, who was examining a School at Ipswich, gave this piece of doggrel for dictation. It is so hard to read, so difficult to understand, and so full of puzzling words to spell, that most scholars would say, 'It wasn't fair':-

'While hewing yews Hugh lost his ewe, 

And put it in the Hue and Cry. 

To name his face's dusky hucs 

Was all the effort he could use. 

You brought the ewe back by-and-bye,

 And only begged the hewer's ewer, 

Your hands to wash in water pure, 

Lest nice-nosed ladies, not a few,

 Should cry, on coming near you, "Ugh!"  

PUZZLES TO FOREIGNERS

 PUZZLES TO FOREIGNERS - THE AMERICAN ENGLISH

WHAT DOES THE WORD "FAST" MEANS IN AMERICAN ENGLISH?

WE are not surprised when foreigners tell us that they find it hard to learn our language. Take, for instance, the word 'fast.'
1.The Hudson River is fast, when the ice is immovable, and when the ice disappears very fast, the stream is open again.

2. A clock is called fast, when it is quicker than time;

3. but a man is said to stand fast, when he is stock-still. 

4.People fast ,when they have nothing to eat, and they eat fast when they gobble up a deal in a short space of time.
