A (Bad) English Teacher Joke
rogersgeorge on April 20th, 2023
I ran into it on Quora…
One day, I asked my English Teacher, “Why do we ignore some letters in pronunciation eg. the letter H in Hour, Honour, etc…”
My English Teacher said, ” We are not ignoring them; they’re considered silent”
( I was even more confused )
During the lunch break, my Teacher gave me her packed lunch and asked me to heat it in the Cafeteria. I ate all the food and returned her the empty container.
My English Teacher: “What happened? I told you to go and HEAT my food, you are returning me an empty container.”
I replied, “Ma’am, I thought ‘H’ was silent.”
Ugh. The student must have English as their second language…
