    Something I don’t understand about English. I really need to say this for some reason.
    You know the word extraordinary? Big word, right? Firstly, its pronounced ex-straw-danary for some weird reason.
    So let’s google “extraordinary.”
    “very unusual or remarkable.”
    WHAT

    If you break the word into two, you get these two words: Extra and ordinary. Ordinary = usual and extra = to a greater extent than usual. Thus meaning extra and ordinary would mean, EVEN MORE ORDINARY, right? well no you’re wrong
    IT MEANS UNUSUAL OR REMARKABLE?

    WHAT!!!!

    It literally has the word “ordinary” in it, yet it means the exact opposite.
    I’m done
