This week on "English is just stupid" I would like to make the motion that "Ratio" and "Patio" should rhyme. I don't care if it's RAH-tee-Oh or Pay-shEE-Oh, one of them has to change.
Over, Cover, Clover, Hover. Yeah, I'm coming for you next.
On a separate topic, Chris noticed the kids using "amn't I?" instead of "aren't I?" and reluctantly corrected them. Not because they're are wrong, but because English is just stupid. If one of you educated types has a better answer, we'd love to know what goofball verb disagreement rule causes that one.
Of course, maybe I are wrong.

No, really. English is that stupid. Linguists say we have an internal grammar that develops and we can see the randomness of our language development most clearly when young ones apply that internal grammar to the actual language system and find it doesn't work...
