Some reasons why the English language is hard to learn...

He could lead if he would get the lead out.

The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.

A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.

When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

I did not object to the object.

The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.

They were too close to the door to close it.

The buck does funny things when the does are present.

A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.

To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.

Good points, Karl. Maybe that is also why the U.S. does NOT have an official language, but I doubt that though. In the U.S., you can easily survive with only Spanish. More often than not, I have seen folks working at the gas stations not know a word of English. Almost everywhere you go, whether it be a doctor's office, the local police station, the welfare department, the department of motor vehicles (DMV), often times, the very first question people ask you is \"Do you speak English?\" I think many Americans replaced that particular question with \"Hello, how are you?\" or \"G'day mate.\" America is becoming the United States of Mexico!
