Consider: a tundra that was breed-changed to a mirror. Still has poor eyesight, but rather than identifying people by smell, it tells them apart by taste.
Cue fluffy Mirror running around licking strangers.
I have literally jumped out the way of a plastic bag on dive when out of the corner of my eye I thought it was a big jellyfish. It really was an easy mistake to make. Just like not bringing your own shopping bags when you head out the house….but practice makes perfect!
if anyone ever tells you that english isn’t ridiculous remember that the reason why we have a silent b in debt is because a group of guys got together to standardise english spelling and got to the word debt, which at the time was primarily spelled either ‘dett’ or ‘det’. so they basically went:
‘everyone speaks latin, right? so let’s put a silent b in debt. like debitum, which is latin for debt. problem solved.’
also the reason why there is a h in ghost is because when the printing press first came to england the only people trained to operate it were flemmish speaking, and they put a h after g because that’s what you do in flemmish. they put shit like ghirl and ghoose, but the only reason why ghost stuck is because people saw ‘the holy ghost’ in the bible and were like ‘well, that MUST be right’.
so yeah english is a really stupid language with some of the most ridiculous spelling
Anyone telling you that English isn’t a bullshit Frankenstein language is lying.
English mugs other languages in dark alleys and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary. Pass it on.
