First neither Internet Explorer or Firefox would let me comment, the comment window was so narrow that I couldn't see what to write and not fill in the blog address either. Then right now suddenly I can comment via Internet Explorer... STill problem with Firefox which is the browser I normally use.<BR/>Maybe it's some of the add-ons that I have installed in my browsers that made the problems. One of them I have on both browsers. We'll see if it keep making problems.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe it's Blogger that's having these problems with random users. It has happened similar things before.<BR/><BR/>Those are some very good questions, there really are a bunch of them. I wonder if anyone acatually can answer them? *s*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32508161.post-89844675641943010372007-05-04T05:11:00.000+01:002007-05-04T05:11:00.000+01:00LOL this was cool...there are some more jokes that...LOL this was cool...there are some more jokes that goes around in here...<BR/>When B-U-T is said as 'buht' then why is P-U-T not 'Puht' but is 'poot'<BR/><BR/>BTW check <A HREF="http://www.4to40.com/poems/print.asp?article=poems_stupidlanguage" REL="nofollow">here</A><BR/>Cheers!Rimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16312055480192218811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32508161.post-24604601104657303652007-05-04T05:01:00.000+01:002007-05-04T05:01:00.000+01:00Here I am...on my Thursday and your Friday...I alw...Here I am...on my Thursday and your Friday...I always show up, sometimes late and sometimes early as I managed to do on TT this week!

English is in fact a Germanic language but for a time, French was the language of England and many of their words mixed with the English words... Sorry, the subject is too in depth and complicated for me to do it justice. I encourage everyone to do some research and learn some of the words that were inflenced by other languages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32508161.post-2569689189663322322007-05-03T14:40:00.000+01:002007-05-03T14:40:00.000+01:00I've asked myself these same questions and the ans...I've asked myself these same questions and the answer is "don't ask."
