"Why english is not science with a set of rules so that we can arrive on proper word usage for conversation,like in maths were we all know 2+2=4,but in english the usage & meaning of word changes depending on context"..i raised this question to my roommate(shubhu) and he just said "english literature is all about how you interpret it..."
I have come across a no of books/dictionary which will give u a root/base word,which can help in learning a family of words but thats not always a thumb rule...some times the base word in certain cases lead you to wrong interpretation or probably an opposite meaning.
English lexical is being derived from a number of languages latin,germanic etc and english grammer seems to contain too much twisted rules.Few days back oxford publication have included the SMS language words too in there list...i feel that soon english grammer usage will be ruled out and we will use the language which is more easier and acceptable by people(may be hinglish in india):-)
