This is also what I love about the language

Isn't it ironic, don't you think? A little too ironic, I really do think...

(sorry Freddie, OT for your post, just a thought)

No I don't actually Goose I understand it completely. It's the nature of the language. But it still bothers me. Not bothers as much as intrigues me.And I know a guy who actually wrote his master's thesis on -ic/ical, so I'm not the only one raising this point...

English as opposed to German... German: rules for everything. English: exceptions to rules for everything.
