The Failure of the English Language



Yesterday I mowed my yard. I also used the weedeater. But see, there's the problem.
Noun: mower. Verb: mow. Present tense: mow. Past tense: mowed.

Noun: weedeater.
Verb: weedeat?
Present tense: weedeat? It's time to weedeat.
Past tense: weedate? weedeatered? ate weeds? Yesterday I mowed and ate weeds.

The mind boggles.

This guy probably has the same problem, though:


Anteat? Anteatered? Ate ants?
