What’s Bothering Me Now:






























The suffix ese.

Why are some things an ese?

While others are not.

You got yer, Angolese, Archdiocese, Balinese, Bhutanese, Burmese, Cantonese, Ceylonese, Chinese, Congolese, Gabonese, Genoese, Ghanese, Japanese, Javanese, Lebanese, Maltese, Milanese, Manganese, Nepalese, Nipponese, Obese, Pekinese, Portuguese, Senegalese, Siamese, Sudanese, Taiwanese, These, Viennese, and Vietnamese.

What constitutes an ese?

Why are they not Koreanese?

Or Americanese?

Ese’s are really bothering me today.

That’s all.

Carry on.

  3. If only I paid more attention in class, instead of gossiping with the girls I would have been able to answer you. However, if you ever need to know the difference between jam and marmalade you only need to ask.
