Hi friends!
I managed to get some funny pictures! So please feel free to see and laugh your heart out.



This is one of the mistakes made, "Child Beer Available Here". This is incorrect. I think the person who made this mistake actually meant "Chilled Beer Available Here". This is a spelling error! :)

Next, look at the picture above!
It stated as "Please use anyone".
I think the person who created this sign meant that "anyone can use this toilet" or "please follow the sign accordingly".

No time alreday. Quickly humtump everything and finish up the task.

The above statement is in Singlish. We usually take the short cut to express our ideas and opinion in Singlish and we substitute vocabulary in Singlish into our sentences.

Interesting English Facts

Hi guys, I know it is going to be lame but I managed to find some interesting English facts which I would like to share with you. So, read on...

The longest one-syllable word in the English
language is "screeched."

No word in English language rhymes with
"month," "silver," "purple," or "orange."

The longest word in the English language,
according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

The longest place-name still in use is
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwe-nuakit natahu,
the Maori name of a hill in New Zealand.

'Stewardesses' is the longest English word that
is typed with only the left hand. (interesting?)


"Underground" is the only word in English that
begins and ends with the letters "und."

One common mistake mentioned by people is "I want to FETCH my son to school." That is incorrect. "Fetch" is defined as an action to go or come after and bring or take back. When you use that sentence, you mean that you are bringing your son to school and then bringing him back home. That is not the case! Instead, you should say "I want to SEND my son to school" or "I am going to fetch my son from school."

Have a great weekend!
