Oh’ bah’ mah’ self

English is a funny language indeed. As a Mexican, I found it rather strange to learn a language in which the letters had such varied pronunciations depending on the word’s origin.

There’s an animation that’s been seen a lot lately, Obama’s Elf, that I think makes my point really clear:

Really, it’s just to funny for words… Really interesting to witness how a phrase like “All by myself” can become something so funny as “Obama’s elf” with just a weird pronunciation.

This phrase wouldn’t have such an impact if not for the animation acompaning it, of course, This short animation has given me a good laugh indeed.
