If you’d like to have your mind blown by something you haven’t ever thought that hard about before in your life, sit down and try to come up with a list for all the definitions and use contexts for the word “set.”

kholby,

“Run” is another good one.

Count to two too many times

SCB,

You should edit in “Try to” at the start to incorporate all 3!

Hagdos,

All three are in there already?

SCB,

Lol guess who has two thumbs and can’t count

This guy

scottrepreneur,

The lack of Lucille jokes here has me worried about the future of Lemmy

NotSpez,

Damn. I keep being surprised by how many people take stuff online way too seriously. Good meme, you get my seal of approval

BatrickPateman,
odelik,

Needs to have a facemorph of Seal (the singer).

lseif,

two are proper nouns, so dont count. three mean ‘to close something’ (more or less). one is an animal.

i see really only two homonyms in total.

lugal,

Humans are animal too, so there are 3 animals

lseif,

seal is his name, not his species

DrMango,

One isn’t even a proper noun, it’s a massaged initialism:

United States Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Teams, commonly known as Navy SEALs…

And the wood one looks more like stain to me

Ambiorickx,

Navy SEAL is an acronym. Doesn’t count.

treesquid,

But an acronym that was intentionally made to be the name of the animal, so it’s just a duplicate, like all three of the non-singer seals, which just mean to lock something in or out. There are only 2 meanings of seal here, plus a singer who named himself after one of them.

So? “Laser” and “radar” are acronyms, but we use them as words

mhague,

I don’t get how English is hard. I learned it when I was just a kid.

    I think the above commenter was aware of that.

    lugal,

    I hope you are joking because that’s not at all how it works. There is a certain age when you are capable of learning a language easily. This time window closes naturally. It has nothing to do with the problematic school system

    Soldier, plug, varnish, wax seal, some dude, seal?

    EdibleFriend,

    some dude.

    My…my lawn…

    I think that’s famed character actor Morris Chesnut.

    Is this a “get off my lawn” joke? Sorry, just confused. :P

    If it is, don’t worry, I’m sure my age has little to do with my ignorance. It’s probably more that I just don’t follow celebrities.

    SilentSilhouette,

    Navy seal , rubber seal, wood seal wax seal, Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel, animal seal

    HessiaNerd,

    Ah yes, the navy seal in the middle of the desert.

    Tnaeriv,

    Among the SEALs’ main functions are conducting small-unit special operation missions in maritime, jungle, urban, arctic, mountainous, and desert environments

    coffeebiscuit,

    And still people think global warming isn’t a problem.

    profoundninja,

    Soldier Dunno Brush Stamp Seal Seal

    Ohh… Seal seal seal seal seal seal

    English is only “hard” because it is shit. There ain’t no rules for nothing. All the “rules” have exceptions, which have exceptions, which have have exceptions.

    ILikeBoobies,

    Too wide spread, too many accents

    cashews_best_nut,

    Invented by an island of rock throwing mongrels.

    Treczoks,

    Google for a poem called “The Chaos”. It starts with “Dearest creature in creation”. Read it out loud without errors.

    deus,

    Here it is. I was going to paste the whole text in here until I realized what a monster of a poem it is.

    d00ery,

    As a native speaker, dang, that’s not easy!

    A few words I’m not sure on.

    Treczoks,

    As a non-native speaker, it took me a quite few trials to get things right. And it contained a shitload of surprizes.

    There is a reason this poem is called “The Chaos”.

    Treczoks, (edited )

    And, have you read it aloud? ;-)

    But it is good that you provided the link instead of the text, as the link contains a load of additional information about the poem and its author.

    BurnedDonutHole,

    This poem could be the final test of an English course.

    mctoasterson,

    That’s not easy, Mr. Fox, sir

    uid0gid0,

    When tweetle beetles fight, it’s called a tweetle beetle battle.

    And when they battle in a puddle, it’s a tweetle beetle puddle battle.

    AND, when tweetle beetles battle with paddles in a puddle, they call it a tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle.

    AND, when beetles battle beetles in a puddle paddle battle and the beetle battle puddle is a puddle in a bottle they call it a tweetle beetle bottle puddle paddle battle muddle.

    hglman,

    I can’t read easy English out loud correctly.

    Touching_Grass,

    Its a coozy
