How come you play at a recital, but recite at a play?

for the same reason that you drive on a parkway

and park on a driveway......see? it all makes sense

in some cosmic plane.

ohhh...that guy above me stole my answer!!!!

Haha, good question. And all the driveway/parkway things apply too.

I suppose if you want to get technical, you're not supposed to recite lines, you're supposed to SAY them, because reciting gets boring.

That's because you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway.

When you cover something you put the cover on but when you peel something you take the peel off.

Economy is the small size in cars but the big size in soap flakes.

Rush-hour is when you travel slowest.

Cuz this language messes with our minds.

We park in a driveway. And drive on a parkway

And then there's the freeway, but it usually ISNT FREE

Go figure??

English is just a strange, entertaining language.

I don't know, same reason I guess, that your feet smell and your nose runs....

I dont know!! But good qustion!!!
