Some of it is very illogical. It can be very difficult if it's not your first language. Gallagher does a great routine about it. He also gets in a jab at the Japanese language.







PS He even mentions one of your favorite words: Tomb.

Wonder what went wrong in his life?

You mean saying things like “good food”…?

A lot of it is to do with which language we got our words from.
