Elusive English - Why the English Language Is So Hard To Learn

What did they say?

This post is going to talk about a peripheral, but fundamental, element to both writing and publishing.

The language used to paint stories, legal contracts, instructions, teaching lessons, laws, campaign point papers, jokes, directions etc., etc., etc.

What would we do without our languages? And even with them, some people still tend to interpret the same words differently! Talk about bending the subject to suit their own purposes :)

If anything, we all should pause, reflect and appreciate what people go through when learning to communicate AND write in another language.

Now, all languages must have their eccentricities, but I believe English is probably one of the hardest languages to learn. Why? Too many words having the same spelling but different meanings and even pronunciations at times.

Time to have a little fun :) Here are just some of the reasons why the English language is so hard to learn:
