that’s what my son says every other day. actually his exact words are English is dumb — he learnt this sentence from YouTube 😭
My son asked why we spell welcome with only one l when well has two l’s.
Excellent question - and I don’t know the answer. Hastily asked a few English teachers. One of them did some research and ventured that it was a result of olden English. Initially, these words were separate words. However, when combined with other words, they dropped one l in the process. That’s why we have words like although and altogether and welcome.
English is fascinating ;)
It’s amazing how a year’s hiatus has boosted your confidence and self-assurance about life. Kudos to

Honestly, working on my daughter’s preschool homework (again!) is not my ideal way of spending a santai-santai (relaxing) Saturday afternoon. But I thought I took control of this unenviable situation. Empowered the daughter by deferring to her wishes and enlisted the son’s help with the creative execution.
The icing on the cake? When the daughter informed her mum that it was a joint collaborative effort between her, her brother and me. Good that you didn’t steal all the credit!
Okay, done ✅
I’m glad to be reminded of this class act through you ;)
