Something thats been annoying me!

[ROB_NSR]

Simple, I know, but I've been bored today and god knows why I started thinking of it but have you ever noticed 1st 2nd 3rd and 5th are bollocks? 1 is one, and st is, well, st! so if you put them together you don't get first, you get onest!

Aaand, why is a building a called a building? while it's being built people are building it, then when they have finished building it its built, so surely a building should be called a built?

Nonsense I know, just thought I'd share my thoughts with you all!

I remember reading something once that nothing rhymes with Purple...then me and my friend spent hours trying to think of words that would rhyme with it
