Some english phrases make no sense to me:
catch-as-catch-can: Huh?
I’ll be out-of-pocket this afternoon: Huh?
One thing, a pair of things, several things: How is it that ‘several’ comes to mean three, all of a sudden?
Working with so many foreign peeps, you start understanding just how random, chaotic, and redundant English is. Sentence construction, word choice, phraseology, neologisms, and odd tenses (“He might have been going to the park next Thursday”) combine to make English hard to master.
My head hurts. I’m getting lunch.
