I can't read that on tapatalk? Much too small and doesn't enlarge when tapped. I find the same with photos, George's and Keith's are fine and fill the page when tapped. I could always get my laptop out!

It is quite small one Tapatalk - especially if it is words on an iphone - double clicking it helps but makes it a bit blurry. Tapatalk is fine for photos, words sometimes are a bit of a struggle.

English is indeed a difficult language to learn.
So many irregularities.

Excellent SuzzPuss, but it is not just English. For example, what do hundred, face, swim, front, cheek and obverse have in common?

P.S. I tip Dutchie to know the answer to this.
