Hi every body.. I happenned to read a old magazine today,that my father got for me way back in 1988.. and found some interesting lines that i would like to share. 1) White ant is not an ant, it belongs to orthothera group and it is brown in color. 2) Pineapple is not an apple, it is a berry. 3) Mulberry is not a berry,as it is a multiple fruit. 4)Peanuts are not nuts, they are beans 5) Jugular Vein is not a Vein, it is an artery. 6) Mustard gas is not a gas nor it is a mustard.It is a volatile liquid. 7) Silver fish is not a fish, it is an insect. I think some them is really nice and hope you enjoyed it. Have a good time friends.

My goodness, i got this discussion noticed by another person...hehehe.. Nowadays there is slight improvement in my discussion getting responses,as it gets one or two responses. Probably after some years, i can't exactly tell as how many years, the response level may reach higher. And thanks friend, that you liked this topic. Enjoy every moment of life, with the blessings of God.

Wow, these are interesting! And these are among the idiosyncrasies of English. In English, we don't like saying what we meant LOL.

Those are good! I have another one for you: A tomato is a fruit AND a vegetable. It is a fruit while it's still on the vine, but becomes a vegetable once you pick it. Strange, huh?

Really a good piece of addition, to the above one, and as you said it is strange enough. I never thought of this. Cheers.
