“Let’s face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in
eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France.
Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find
that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig
is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
On 11/27/2007 I spoke to Greenspoint Mall Business Club members. The topic was "Computer and Network Security Simplified". This is one of the presentation topics of Top8. The audience got into it with zest and asked a number of great questions. They even proposed answers to their question; all I had to do was listen and smile.
