ENGLISH, AS TAUGHT BY A 3 YEAR OLD

You want to make the English language make more sense? 
Take grammar lessons from a 3 year old.

When I hear the grammar mistakes that Joey makes, and I supply the correct word instead, I find myself thinking she's right and Webster is wrong. 

English is a mixture of Germanic and French languages (mostly). And our rules are a hodgepodge. 

"Funner" should be a word.
It should be "winned" not "won."
It should be "thinked" not "thought."

Joey is speaking in a logical fashion. That is her mistake, bringing logic into a English conversation.
