ENGLISH- AN AMAZING LANGUAGE:

English is truly a wonderful language. In fact it is the only global language in actual sense. A very fluent spoken English requires the knowledge of not more than 800 words. This simplicity is often misjudged by many who think that the popularity of English is due to its easy grammar and plain vocabulary. This is but far from true. In fact English has the most complex vocabulary and a very intricate grammar. But we seldom have the need to use them. The following are some proverbs that you might have learnt in second standard, but slightly modified:

  • Exclusive dedication to necessitous course without interludes of hedonistic diversions renders Jack a hebetudinous fellow.
  • A revolving lithic conglomerate accumulates no congeries of small green biophitic dendrocerus plant.
  • Scintillate Scintillate asteroid minim.
  • It is fruitless to be lachrymose over precipitately departed lactile fluid.
  • Men who make their abode in virtuous edifices are prevented from catapulting perilous projectiles.
  • All the articles that coruscate with resplendence are not truly auriferous

Want to know what they mean? Check it out:

  • All work and no play makes jack a dull boy
  • A rolling stone gathers no moss
  • Twinkle twinkle little star
  • It is useless to cry over spilt milk
  • Men in glass house must not throw stones
  • All that glitters is not gold

English is truly an amazing language.
