Darned English

This is a cute thing with examples of why English is difficult to learn (and understand). A few that made me laugh:

"We speak of a brother and also of brethren,but though we say mother we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim."

"How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wiseguy are opposites?"
