The English Language

The English Language is messed up.

How is the English language messed up?

Well, here are the first of MANY examples I have been running through this brain of mine.

001. “Mrs.”
Um, why in the world is there an “r” in the abbreviation for “misses”?

002. “Excuse” me.
NO ONE has ever said “excuse me” to me in my life. Why have we changed it to ” ‘scuse me”? We’ve even changed it to “excuuuze me”

Okay, I’m done.
