I used to belive that the English language was made up by two men at the start of the world.Their was one tall and one short and that was why we had the same sounding word meaning different things (e.g. right and write) because they each wanted to call a different thing the same word so the tall one made the short one change the spelling!

others believed things like this
- That everyone had the same amount of skin and that short people were fat and tall people were skinny.Anon
- Since the girls name Jackie is short for Jacqueline, I thought the boys name Jack was short for JackalAnon
