Health study

[icepir8]

Who knew? I think you'll like the following: the final word on nutrition and health.

It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies.

The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.



And THAT's the final word!!!

Thats really no lie, English is the most complicated modern language there is.

You have words that sound the same like..
There and Their and They're
Weather, Whether

You have words that are spelled the same will different punctuation...
He'll and Hell

And that brings up the point of contractions.

And then you have words that are completely spelled identically but have different meaning, for example the first one here has 3 meanings, the second has 2.
Well
Spoke

And these are just jumbled in there and the only way to tell the difference is the context its used in.

I can very easily see how English could kill someone just trying to learn it.

hebrew's not that hard. the only hard thing is that hebrew is spoken so fast, and being that i'm not israeli, and that english is my first language, and that english is a very slow language, it's hard to think so fast. there are more letters and the vowels are dots and are normally not written, which would seem to make it a lot harder, but it doesnt affect it that much. one of the harder things probably is that there are two sets of numbers, masculine and feminine, and all words are masculine/feminine. and some male singulars have feminine plurals and vice versa. there are also a LOT of exceptions. in different forms, if one letter is the first root letter, totally different (and seemingly random) letters will jump in to that form.
anybody know anything on esperanto (besides that it's a newly formed language that is supposed to be perfect)??
