Don't forget, "The villain threw a bomb and a comb into the tomb."
It seriously hurts my head trying to read all these... Man... English is awful, I wish it wasn't the only language I knew.
#9 is only an American problem. We English do not use dove as a past tense version of dive
Yes, but you English also spell words with the letter "u" in there totally at random. Favourite? Armour?
I kid, I kid. I love the English. Your accents are simply fantastic.
And yes JoeRob, excellent addition to the list!
