Crazy English Memes
Let’s face it: English is quirky. It’s one of the things I love about it. I find the language I speak to be fascinating in its flexibility and unpredictability. I like how English defies conformity to simple rules. I feel sorry for folks trying to learn it, sure, but I find it endlessly amusing.
The memes below, featuring Philosoraptor, Success Kid, and The Most Interesting Man in the World, are offered in that spirit. They are not intended satirically or ironically. They are intended to demonstrate the fantastic quirkiness of English. If you like them, by all means pass them around (I dream of going viral one day). 🙂
