All I can think of here is that when I was about eight years old my older siblings took me to a movie. My first horror movie. But I didn't know then that FRANKENSREIN was a scary movie. I had seen Abbot and Costello movies and Laurel and Hardy movies. when I looked at the movie billboard I thought I was going to see another couplet called Frank and Stein. I was prepared to laugh but instead I lived for a week with the worst nightmares I have ever had. LOL  |

Good post. I have a story to share, but I'm not sure it's really relevant lol. When my brother was in 1st grade, he brought home a spelling test in which he had missed a word. He was very upset and said to my mother that his teacher told them that if they sounded the words out, they should have no problems whatsoever. Well, the word he'd missed was radio (spelled redio). My mom asked him to sound it out and he did. He didn't say radio, he said redio. He had no idea that the word she was trying to say was radio and he was so confused. His teacher didn't take the time to pronounce the words correctly (she was born and raised in our small town in Texas, so it's not like she was from another country and had an accent or anything). My mom talked to her the next day and she was shocked at how poorly the lady talked. She ended up taking it to the school board. How can you expect to teach kids the English language when you can't even speak it properly was her argument.  |

I love the subject of semantics. That actually happened to me in high school re: the euthanasia subject. A friend of mine said that was the subject of her term paper and I asked how the youth in Asia were different than us. Anyway, the one mix-up that always gets me is "accept" and "except". I wonder if people realize that when they use except in place of accept that they are saying the total opposite of what it is they mean. Another one that I see here (;'s @FB) is "whether" and "rather" which can be rather confusing to distinguish depending on whether one is really paying attention to what someone is writing. God Bless.  |

LOL! Thanks, Deb. Just like your example, when someone says, "I could care less," they are saying the opposite of what they mean which is, "I couldn't care any less." |

Good post Frank:) I wonder if there are any other languages that are as crazy as ours is, with all these double meanings for words.  |
