This, my friend, is known as satire. This is what would happen is English were treated like Biology by the creationist types.

Well, I'd have to agree with you. Someone who treated English like biology would be a worthy subject of satire.

Ping!

Note that "Ping" obviously evolved from the earlier form "Bump" through Bump-Bums-Buns-Bunk-Punk-Pink-Ping. Some of these forms are not even extinct. I see both "Bunk" and "Punk" used regularly on this very Forum!

But can you tell me the real reason orientals have trouble pronouncing the letter "L"?

I'm not bashing orientals there is an actual reason why!

I like "pull!" instead of ping of late. Thanks for the chuckle
