Fun with english words

1. 59

   weblogposted 17 years ago

   It can be anything, I'm just trying to start with some samples:
   
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   LOVE => DOVE => DIVE=> HIVE => HAVE => HATE (Love to Hate)
   
   
   "Violence" and "Nice Love" have same set of alphabets.
   
   
   
   Some words have no vowels in them. examples: rhythm, sky, fly
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   Or you can explain the funny, interesting history behind some english words.
   
   
   So, I'm expecting more from fellow hubbers. Please participate and contribute. Thank you all.

   Male plural.
   
   Add an "s" to make it female singular.

    Weblog, it is not really Latin.
    
    It is called "pig Latin", and you create is by taking the first letter off each word, putting it at the end, and adding the "ay" sound.
    
    itebay = ite b(ay) = bite
    
    emay = e m (ay) = me
    
    And so on.

    A palindrome is a word or sentence that reads the same forward as it does backward.
    
    Here are some sentences as palindrome:
    
    As I pee, sir, I see Pisa!
    
    Dammit, I'm mad!
    
    Draw, O coward!
    
    Madam, I'm Adam.
