Why is abbreviated such a long word?

because some idiot with the same amount of brain cells as george bush made it up; none!

Why does monosyllabic have five syllables?

It has to do with math:

Word with one syllable - 6 syllables

Monosyllabic - 5 syllables

6 syllables minus 5 syllables = 1 syllable

Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

Because it comes from the word phonetics and that word comes from the Greek word phonê meaning "sound" or "voice". That means relating to spoken language or speech sounds.

Why is a carrot more orange than an orange?

because orange is pulpy and the colour gets distributed amoung the pulp but carrot is not pullpy it does not get distributed

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

They usually do run through more than 1 state. But the "interstate" highway system is the name given to the federal program that came up with money to build the roads

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

same reason abbreviation is such a long word.

Why are they called apartments, when they're all stuck together?

Because togetherments is too hard to say.

Why do scientists call it research when looking for something new?

because when you do a research your searching for something new based on facts and published materials. It's not necessarily a "new thing". It's just that, it was left out and was left undiscovered before. That's why scientist research it to find what's being missed.

Why do they call it a building? It looks like they're finished. Why isn't it a built?

"Building" meaning the OBJECT, and "Building" meaning the PROCESS have separate histories. The "ing" suffixes were originally different.

Why is it when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

Cargo is a term used to define anything carried by any type of vehicle, whether it be a car, truck, train, ship or aircraft. Shipment is the act of transporting the cargo, or it can be a small amount of cargo as in that found on delivery trucks. For clarification...shipment=short distance transport...cargo=overseas or long distance transport.

If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

Humanitarians eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

If price and worth mean the same thing, why priceless and worthless are opposites?

They're not exactly synonymous. The price of something is the money value one assigns to it. It's worth is it's value, with no reference to how much it can be bought or sold for. So if it is priceless, it means it is so precious a price can not be put on it. If it is worthless, it has no kind of value whatsoever.

What's another word for synonym?

anti-anonym?

Is it possible to be totally partial?

yess.

HONESTLY I GIVE UP> IF THESE WORDS WERE NOT THIS WAY YOU WOULDNT BE ASKING THIS AND PPL WOULDNT BE TRYING TO GET 10 POINTS!!!!  

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

It's all part of a vast right-wing conspiracy to make English difficult to learn for speakers of other languages.

Also things like this give us the perfect excuse to cover up our own stupidity.  When we say something ridiculous, we can claim that it's not our fault -- _we're_ not being illogical, it's just that the _language_ is illogical.

Sometimes we can even get away with it.

Answer 8

hmm. well i guess because people want you to abbreviate it.

because i one syllable word wouldnt describe the meaning properly.

its the english language hun, hardly anything is spelled the way it sounds.

nature. atleast an orange is orange colored, if it was pink then wed have a problem

its still a state. i dont think anybody wanted rename something just so it would fit in with hawaii.
