If you ever think English is not a shit language, just remember that read & lead rhyme, read & lead rhyme, but read & lead don’t rhyme, & neither do read & lead.  This just screws me up!

Not so sure it’s the English doing it.

I like to say, "I have to run down to the store because I have a run in my stocking and my car is not running."

In New Jersey USA the words Log and Dog definitely do not rhyme. Log sounds as one might expect but Dog is pronounced, Doo-ahhg, in two distinct syllables if you please.  We also enjoy our morning caww-fee, 

And no one ever, ever says we live in 'Joy-see'.  This is what The Unenlightened say on the wrong side of the Hudson River.
