On English
When it comes to English, I'm no professor. I didn't pass my English at school, and didn't get the best marks in the papers all the time. I do however know good English from bad English.
Although the English language is very crazy and weird, there is always an explanation. I don't know the answers to any of these, but I'm sure there's a reason as to why the plural of tooth is teeth yet the plural of phone booth is not phone beeth and why the alarm clock goes on when it goes off. But one thing I do know is that there surely isn't an explanation to this phrase, '...maximum infinity', which I heard from downstairs on bus today morning.
Yeah, how stupid. I don't normally like to listen into people's conversations, but on a bus so packed and with that one person that always insists on speaking over everyone else, you have no choice other than to listen in. Anyway, I couldn't help but grin a little when I heard that. Made the rainy weather out the window this morning seem a little distant for a while.
