Our crazy language 
By Richard Lederer. 
 
If pro and con are opposites, is congress the opposite of progress? 
English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can 
speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of the international mail are in English. Of all 
languages, English has the largest vocabulary – perhaps as many as two million words – and one of the noblest 
bodies of the literature. 
Nonetheless, let’s face it: English is a crazy language! There is no egg in eggplant, neither pine nor apple in 
pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. 
English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candy, while 
sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. 
Gabarito Comentado – CFOE 2016 – Inglês Intermediário – Versão A  - 2 -
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing 
rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths and a guinea pig is neither a pig nor from Guinea. 
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, humdingers don’t hum and hammers 
don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese – so one 
moose, two meese? One index, two indices – one kleenex, two kleenices? 
Sometimes I wonder if all English speakers should be commited to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what 
other language do people drive on a parkway and park in a driveway? Recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by 
truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? 
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in 
which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which your alarm clock goes off by going on. 
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, 
isn’t really a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out they are visible, but when the lights are out they are 
invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch I start it, but when I wind up this essay I end it. 
(LEDERER, Richard. Crazy English, revised Edition by Richard Lederer. Copywrite 1989, 1990, 1996.) 
 
18) “Recite at a play and play at a recital?” (7th paragraph) is an example in which: 
a) Native English speakers make many speech mistakes. 
b) According to context use, word meaning suffers shifts. 
c) Lack of proper punctuation generates meaning conflict. 
d) Word meaning should be suited to modern time context. 
 
JUSTIFICATIVA DA ALTERNATIVA CORRETA: (LETRA B) 
 
“Recite at a play and play at a recital”=recitamos/declamamos numa peça teatral e tocamos em um recital. Quando 
play foi usada como substantivo significou peça teatral no contexto, quando play foi usada como verbo, no contexto, 
tornou-se tocar um instrumento musical.

Brazilians in London 
 
There are many reasons why people leave their own countries to try living in another. Sometimes it’s for political 
reasons, other times for economic ones, sometimes it’s a good way to improve a foreign language by going there to 
study and staying for a while. 
Brazil has for some time been going through economic and social upheaval and many Brazilians dream of 
moving to foreign parts to try out a new life; London is a favourite destination. 
The atmosphere on the plane to London on arrival at the airport is so tense you can cut the air with a knife. 
Everyone is nervous at the prospect of going through immigration. They are right to feel so because of the intense 
questioning and sense of degradation Brazilians and other foreigners are made to feel. You need to be totally 
prepared and have everything with you to prove what you say because you will not be taken at your word. 
Brazilian women seem to fare better on the whole than Brazilian men in England. Historically speaking they have 
proved to be more adaptable and used to doing more servile jobs, which are also easier for women to find. They 
therefore seem to fell less frustrated than their male counterparts when doing the washing up. The kind of jobs 
Gabarito Comentado – CFOE 2016 – Inglês Intermediário – Versão A  - 5 -
available to women such as waitressing, au pair etc also puts them in contact with Englishmen, who find them 
attractive; in fact the number of Brazilian women who end up marrying Englishmen is not small. They tend to infiltrate 
British society easier than do the men who do not come into contact socially as easily with English women who might 
probably find them more attractive on the beach in Brazil than in grey, old England. 
And anyway living in another country is always a challenge, an adventure, and for the first few years feels really 
like a holiday even though you are working. You do not question what you are doing, after all you are improving your 
English and experiencing life and learning about another culture. 
(SPEAK UP, Rio de Janeiro: Peixes. n.85, p. 18-21, March 94. Adapted) 
 
27) In “They are right to feel so because of the intense questioning…” (3rd paragraph) THEY refers to: 
a) you. 
b) everyone. 
c) destination. 
d) immigration. 
 
JUSTIFICATIVA DA ALTERNATIVA CORRETA: (LETRA B) 
 
“Everyone is nervous at the prospect of going through immigration. They are right to feel so because of the intense 
questioning”=Todos estão nervosos com a perspectiva da passar pela imigração. Eles (todos) estão certos de se 
sentirem assim devido ao intenso questionamento.
