and why are they a "pair of trouser"

the pair thing is because the original english men had 4 legs :P
and of corse English is stupid - we are the country of eccentrics - were not going to have a sensible language are we?

It's called a pair of trousers because originally they weren't joined at the waist, it was just a pair of leggings. At least, that's what I've been lead to believe.

the written english language is sooooooooo out dated!!! the americans have the rite idea (ok i know it's the wrong rite haha) they spell things as its said, like color wher as we spell it colour, theres way too many to list but the english language needs to update its self. "chav" for instance (snigger!!! only the brits will understand this term) =)

I think its really important to keep a formal language like any other language! Anyway what would you do without such great words as twocker, ned, minging, gipping etc. English is a wonderful language! (plus you have to keep us dyslexics on our toes!)
