In this day and age, it's not surprising if someone you meet can speak two or more languages. We, however, have barely mastered the absolute intricacies of the English language.

Text - Matthew Anderson Follow @MattAndersonBBC Things native English speakers know, but don't know we know: adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion- size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest you'll sound like a maniac. It's an odd thing that every English speaker uses that list, but almost none of us could write it out. A

Text - direcartographies: fun fact: the reason that the plural of goose is geese but the plural of moose is not meese is because goose derives from an ancient germanic word undergoing strong declension, in the pattern of foot/feet and tooth/teeth, wherein oo is mutated to ee. however 'moose' is a native american word added to the english lexicon only 400 years ago, and lacks the etymological reason to be pluralized in that way Oh baby. Keep talking dirty to me.

Text - wuyien taesmiine Source: egberts egberts Wordsmythologic: egberts: im really pissed that palindrome isnt palindrome backwards Ah, yes but emordnilap is a word! An emornilap is any word that, when spelled backwards, produces another word. Examples of emordnilap pairs include: desserts & stressed C drawer & reward gateman & nametag time & emit laced & decal regal & lager And therefore "emordnilap palindrome" is an emordnilap palindrome. Which I, for one, think is really frickin' cool. dude
