keys???

[fatjack]

why the first music theorists decided to name the notes that way is a mystery to me

Its quite funny sometimes when you think about it , you'll notice alot of things like that through life , little things that makes you go " Now what the fuck was that idiot thinking when he did that " so things will stay a mystery but they work well anyway Just wierd thinking about it

yeah, kind of like the english langauge

[DreaminBassMunky]

The english language is the least mysterious of all languages, because it's the most un original. It dervives a ton of words from Latin, and other romance languages, but then gives every words 8 or 9 meanings, and gives it words that sound the same, but mean something completly different (ie raise and raze). It is quite an interesting language.

some of the aspects of the english langauge make no sense, especially the conjugation of verbs. its overly complicated, but this can be a plus because you can expresses emotions in so many ways in english that you might not be able to in another langauge

true. but it also makes it so we are so confused by our own language that we do not readily take on other languages.

i learned more about the english langauge in my spanish class than i did in any english class

You don't take on other languages ?

[DreaminBassMunky]

I personally do. But other people don't. I look at other countries who are basically forced into learning english, because people who speak english don't want to learn other languages.

same here only in Latin. It helps me a lot in English, with random vocab and stuff. and going back and learning a language from the very beginning when you can actually comprehend what you're learning, helps a lot.

[violenticecream88]

german is tons easier than english. i learn alot about why stuff is in english in german class.

[skilly]

i dont mean to get off track or shoud i say back on..... but ive noticed alot of people saying that being a tab bred guitarist is bad, im not bragging but i dont know a damn thing about thoery or sheet but i could probable play the pants off of 90 percent of you that do..... but maybe im just an oddball......

FOUR ALL WHO READ AND RIGHT:

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother, we never say methren.

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his, and him,
but imagine the feminine as being she, shis, and shim.

*************

Let's face it -- English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in
pineapple.

English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in
France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't
sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we
find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and
a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers
don't grocer and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is
teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese.
So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one
amend, that you comb through annals of history but not a single
annal?

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one
of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preacher praught? If a vegetarian
eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? If you wrote a
letter, perhaps you bote your tongue?

In what language do people recite at a play and play at a
recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that
run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on
parkways?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?

How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell
another.

Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when
they are absent?

Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown? Met a
sung hero or experienced requited love? Have you ever run into
someone who was combobulated, gruntled, ruly or peccable? And
where are all those people who ARE spring chickens or who would ACTUALLY hurt a fly?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which
your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a
form by filling it out and in which an alarm clock goes off by
going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects
the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't a race
at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible,
but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up
this essay, I end it.

comb, bomb, womb and other crazy pronnuniciations of words that are spelled exactly the same are my favorite!

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
8) At the Army base, a bass was painted on the head of a bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into! the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18) After a number of Novocain injections, my jaw got number.
19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
22) I spent last evening evening out a pile of dirt.
23) If you have a rough cough, climbing can be tough when going through the bough on a tree!
