"This is the Best, Most Interesting English Lesson I have had to Date.

Did you know "listen" and "silent" use the same letters?

Do you know that the words "race car" spelled backwards still spells "race car"?

And that "eat" is the only word that if you take the first letter and move
it to the last, it spells its past tense "ate"?

And have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in "illegal
immigrants," and add just a few more letters, it spells:
'Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking,
baby-making, non-English-speaking jackasses and take those other
hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, camel-riding,
goat-loving, raggedy-ass bastards with you.'

How weird is that?"
