If something isn't feasible

[GeorgiaXplant]

does that mean it's feasless? Infeasible? Imfeasible?

 

[hollydolly]

apparently it's Unfeasible Georgia..

 

[GeorgiaXplant]

Maybe it's just "not feasible".

Here's another one that stumps me: if e-n-o-u-g-h is "enuff" and t-o-u-g-h is "tuff", why isn't n-i-g-h-t "nift"? Same thing with light and tight.

The English language is goofy.

We should streamline it as in German. Like replacing the 'ph' sound with an 'F'. Like "telefone".

 

[NancyNGA]

Agree. It (English) must be hard to learn to speak as a second language.

Also "lead" like in follow my lead,
and "lead" like in lead pipe.
Past tense of lead is "led."

Whereas "read" as in read a book
has past tense "read," (not red)

(I hope I didn't make a goof here )

 

[GeorgiaXplant]

German wasn't too hard to learn to speak because all the letters in each word are pronounced. Sometimes the grammar would have me totally flummoxed, though, because (like in English) sometimes there are things that just are with no rhyme or reason.

 

[Josiah]

Holly is right unfeasible appears as an antonym for feasible.

 

[GeorgiaXplant]

Unfeasible sounds goofy. I like feasless better. Feasless.

My old-time cable TV channel, MeTV, ran a cute commercial for one of their shows a while back.

Anyone remember CHiPS? The show about the California Highway Patrol with Ponch and that other guy? layful:

Here's a link to their renaming the series according to the rules of English language -
