...And when you get my age, you get up, 2,3,4,5,6... and then ask yerself: "Whut did I get up for?"
And not have a good answer.
Why the heck is there a "w" in "answer"? It is unique (as far as I know) in the English language in that the silent "w" is in the middle of the word. Unlike, say: "write".
But the use in "write" is explained because it is a homonym (rite, right).
No fargin reason I know of.
