This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

You should check out this book: Highly Irregular: Why Tough, Through, and Dough Don't Rhyme―And Other Oddities of the English Language

It was absolutely fascinating. Who knew there're very good reasons why English is so messed up?

English is hard, but can be figured out through tough thorough thought though.
