The word "lisp" cannot be said correctly if you have a lisp. The phrase "slim chance" means the same thing as the phrase "fat chance". The word "abbreviation" is a long word that is sometimes abbreviated. Now, it's you turn to post English quirks that make you go "...huh, I guess".

The verb "dust" can mean both to add dust to something [to dust with sugar] or to remove dust from something [to dust a table]. Well, good luck with your thread, OP.

The word "indescribable" should not exist, for if something is indescribable, you describe it as being indescribable.

Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I will keep you, Suzy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! Oh hear my prayer. Just compare heart, beard, and heard, Dies and diet, lord and word, Sword and sward, retain and Britain. (Mind the latter, how it’s written.) Now I surely will not plague you With such words as plaque and ague. But be careful how you speak: Say break and steak, but bleak and streak; Cloven, oven, how and low, Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe. Hear me say, devoid of trickery, Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore, Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles, Exiles, similes, and reviles; Scholar, vicar, and cigar, Solar, mica, war and far; One, anemone, Balmoral, Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel; Gertrude, German, wind and mind, Scene, Melpomene, mankind. Billet does not rhyme with ballet, Cuck, goku, same and i am gay

Like 95% of all European languages share enough phonemes that if you can understand one, you can probably semi-comprehensibly pronounce most of them. English gets every single vocal wrong.

Want to have your mind blown? Check this out. This is the order in which adjectives are generally arranged in English. Native speakers have memorized this order but rarely have it pointed out to them. 1. Quantity or number 2. Quality or opinion 3. Size 4. Age 5. Shape 6. Color 7. Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material) 8. Purpose or qualifier Example: Those are three amazing big old thick black American loving cocks!
