It certainly is. Pretend you don't know English at all -- you come from China.

And you hear: Too, to, two. Where, wear, wear again but totally different.

And the way you crazy Engrish spell a sound! Take the "oo" sound. You can spell it:

view, blue, bleu, sioux, too, two, to, through, threw, Hugh (name), you, usual, coup, ewe... and that's just offa the top of my literary head. Wozzat? Lemme count...

That's fourteen fargin ways to spell the "oo" sound in common use here. Hah. My fermented mind just came up with another spelling that some 'Merkin might use: Mon Dieu!

Then you take just one of those words, and see what torture we inflict on others from afar:

Through. <-- As in finished (we are through)
Through. <-- As in passage (we got through)
Threw. <-- Tossed
Threw. <-- Lost on purpose

He threw his mitt because he threw the game and now he's through.

D'ysee, we use a blue jillion homographs and homophones. <-- Knock it off, I'm tryna tell ya sumpin' here, and already yer comin' up with gay crap. Where was I? Oh yeah...

Homographs are Engrish words that are spelled the same, but mean totally different things. Here's a pisser of a homograph: row, row, row. <-- oars, garden, fight.

Homophones can be bought at the local gay sound the same but have totally different meanings: see, sea

Oh, dear. Just read this. I dunno whut the heck luv @boo is puttin' in his grow, but I am as high as limburger cheese. <-- Thet thar is a double-use homophone "high", BTW.

Took a piece half the size of a lima bean. Straight glass piped it, exhaling to my Volcano bag. Got two and a half hits to put in the bag. The bag lasted perhaps ten minutes.

Blitzed. I know this because my literary governer falls offa my word carburetor...
You forgot my favorite; They're, there, and their. "They're going over there to pick up their weed."

I also like the pronunciation of a lot of our words. Take the state of Kansas. Pronounced just like it reads. Now, ad ar on the front of Kansas and you get the state of Arkansas. It's pronounced R can saw. Weird.

How about just inflection changing meaning of same words: question, "Sugar in it?" Or answer: "Sugar in it."

My morning routine every day is the same. I have my bowl of oatmeal with blueberries, half of a bagel with cream cheese, two oatmeal, fruit bars, and a cup of tea. I lean back into a cushion and ice my back while I have my breakfast… Ivan is laying at the door of the back porch and he acts like he’s been running circles all night long. He’s completely exhausted and looks like a dead dog.
 
anyone else hear about this?

I just found out last night

over 200 mph hurricane winds

was no warning…nothing on radar

then BAM!

in just a couple hours went from calm to a Cat 5 hurricane

how does that happen?

The tons of leaves I sucked up two days ago and had it down to bare grass have magically reappeared. If I wait long enough it might start raining.....

Naw, gotta get out there and get 'em. Good thing is the bulk of 'em have fallen. There'll still be some to monkey with after they're all down, but it won't take near as long. Still got to blow 'em off the roof and clean 'em outta the gutters.
