I have a few questions, and quite frankly, I think the English language owes me some answers.
First of all, why is there a D in fridge, but not refrigerator? Where did that extra letter come from? Did it just show up one day and everybody agreed not to question it?
And why does queue have four silent letters? It’s literally just the letter Q with four other letters standing behind it, waiting for their turn to do absolutely nothing.
But here’s the one that’s really bothering me.
If you change the W in what, where, and when to a T, you get that, there, and then.
WHAT. WHERE. WHEN.
THAT. THERE. THEN.
Who figured that out? And why does it feel like I’ve stumbled across a secret the English language wasn’t supposed to tell me?
Anyway, I think I’ve spent enough time questioning the alphabet for one day.
Until next time,
-Destiny 🖤
P.S. I’m still waiting for the D in fridge to explain itself.
