The Troll of Languages

WHlSKY: I nominate the English Language.

This is the conflict:

The business of life.

My eyes kept going over the word ‘business’ and thinking to myself, no, that’s not right, that’s the spelling for business as in a company…

My mind says ‘busy’, you’ve to drop the y and add -i + the word ending. Example busily. Logic.

My ears say that shit doesn’t sound right ‘-ee-ness’ vs ‘-in-ess’

Took 5 minutes for my memory to kick in and remember it’s spelt ‘busyness’.

The busyness of life.
