Reblog this and tag it with your first language(s), the area you live in/grew up in, and the name of this bug:

#skrukketroll

elf-in-mirror that’s the cutest sounding thing I’ve ever heard someone call an invertebrate.

hey, for science, could you guys reblog this and put in the tags

• where you live
  
•  the language you speak most often
  
• what you call a tiny, overpriced grocery store on a street corner where you go when you just need a carton of milk or a candy bar or something

reblog this and tag:

1. where you live
2. your first language
3. what you call the circular bit of road where you just drive around it until you reach your exit:
   

if you don’t have a name for this, say so in the tags!

If you can correctly pronounce every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world. After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud. Try them yourself.

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
