Why English is so hard to learn

This came up on Facebook, thought I would drop it in here.  I think it will appeal to Art as he has mentioned these problems a few times in the past.

Very good one Freddy! Exemplifies my post quite nicely.

The oarsman quote reminds me of a joke with a play on words but...oh well...you've likely heard it before.

A man was visiting London for the first time and decided to rent a small motorboat for fun.

While putting about the motor stalled out. After several attempts to restart the motor he gave up.
Just then, he spotted a man with two gals in a rowboat drifting fairly close by. The Yank asked,
"Ahoy mate! Can I borrow one of your oars?"

The Englishman in the boat shouted back at him, "Em's not 'oars mate...'ems me sisters!"

In the world of AI, it's the thought that counts!
