In approximately 400 words, reflect and respond to Richard Lederer’s “English is a Crazy Language.” In your response, address one or more of the following questions.
1. Briefly describe the rhetorical situation of the the article. What do you think is Lederer’s purpose.
2. Some of the “crazy” aspects of English can be explained by the etymology of specific words. For example, Lederer tells us that “there is no egg in eggplant” and he is right. However, the name can be explained by conducting a little research. Early varieties of the eggplant in Europe were not large and purple like the ones we eat today. Rather, they were small and white or yellow, like eggs. Choose one of Lederer’s examples of “crazy” words and briefly research the etymology of that word.
3. If you speak another language, discuss some of the “crazy” things about that language.
Feel free to discuss other aspects of the article that interest or amuse you.
