Todėl, kad anglų kalba turi taisykles, kurios turi išimtis. Manau, kad anglų kalba pirma sugalvojo išimtis, o tada bandė jas pritraukti prie taisyklių, bet nieko nesigavo, todėl šiandien ir turim ką turim-labai dažnai neveikiančias taisykles. Teoriškai arklys, bet praktiškai netraukia.
Dvidešimt banginių, ant kurių laikosi anglų kalba
1. A preposition is a terrible word to end a sentence with. Never do it.
2. Remember to never split an infinitive.
3. Don't use no double negatives.
4. Don't ever use contractions.
5. And never start a sentence with a conjunction.
6. Write i after e except after c. I'm relieved to receive this anciently weird rule.
7. Foreign words and phrases are not "chic".
8. The passive voice is to be avoided wherever possible.
9. Who needs rhetorical questions?
10. Reserve the apostrophe for it's proper use and omit it when its not necessary.
11. Use fewer with numbers and less with quantity. Less and less people do.
12. Proof read carefully to see if you any words out.
13. I and John are careful to use subject pronouns correctly.
14. Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
15. You've done good to use adverbs correctly.
16. If any word is incorrect at the end of a sentence , an auxiliary verb is.
17. Steer clear of incorrect verbs forms that have snuck into the language.
18. Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing your idioms.
19. Tell the rule about "whom" to who you like.
20. At the end of the day avoid cliches like the plague.
Visuose dvidešimtyje sakinių yra sulaužyta taisyklė, kurią jie skelbia. Nors dėl bent dviejų sakinių klaidingumo aš galiu ginčytis, t.y. ta taisyklė tikrai turi išimčių.
Jeigu šias taisykles žinote ir netgi jas taikote praktikoje, tai galbūt anglų kalbą Jums ir pavyks išmokti.
