Some words just lie. They suggest one meaning but really mean something completely different.
GREENLAND
Must be a country full of grass and other green plants. But no, it is almost completely polar and mountainous ice desert. There is a tiny bit of Artic Tundra on the southern coast (& I bet the tundra isn't even green!).
To make things worse, right next door (sort of) is ICELAND, which is surely a good name for the little Island.
What LIAR WORDS can you find? And is there a closely related TELLTRUTH WORD for each of the words you discover?
Can you think of a good label for LIAR-TELLTRUTH word partners, such as Greenland and Iceland ?
is being dead stopping ?
When you die you stop, ie., you cease don't you. So why do we refer to the deceased. Have they stopped ceasing ? Have they started up again?
Did Jeus cease when he was crucified and died, then to decease on the third day when he rose again ?
I wondered if one could say that deceased is what one is when one stops ceasing. He ceased smoking cigarettes two weeks ago, now he's kicked the habit completely he deceased smoking. - doesn't sound right does it. It because the past tense of cease is 'ceased'.
So deceased can't be having stopped ceasing. I'm puzzled. I must admit death puzzles me too - I can't get feel this concept that one day I just won't 'be'. I can feel it about other things - it also puzzles me how little the world seemed changed when someone you know dies - things just keep chugging on. Perhaps like Winnie the Pool - I have a small brain !

Winnie the Pool!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?

Schooling
I suppose, when one goes to a grammar school, ones grammar is likely to actually get worse, and students who go to English
Comprehensives's English Comprehension isn't very good either...

it makes ignoring it all the more interesting - in reality I need to be more patient when using computers [& hence not a repitition]!
if you lived with my mind 24 7 you'd understand
there's a cognitive psychology demo thats similar to this - DO NOT THINK
OF ELEPHANTS ! so what do you immediately do ?
I...
I THOUGHT OF PEPPER STEAK! HA!

there's always one
who does something different (& why pepper steak ?) & does only the word 'elephant' make you think pepper steak ? what about the picture of an elephant ? the smell of one ?
It reminds me of when I coached 8 yrs soccer; I demonstrated how to shoot at a goal and explained very carefully that kicking with the
toe would make the ball go anywhere except in the goal. The first boy who took a shot kicked the ball with his toe and it was a great goal !

No...
I was just hungry at the time. And I have never smelt an elephant.
I guess it goes to show you shouldn't generalise like that. perhaps you should have said: "Kicking the ball with your toe is a bad idea. Generally, it will not go into the goal"
