English is notoriously illogical. For example, if "tongue" is pronounced tung, why isn't "argue" pronounced arg? And if "enough" is enuff, why isn't "bough" pronounced buff? The arbitrary rules that govern English bedevil nonnative students of the language as much as they torment would-be spelling-bee champs. But such frustrations pale before those endured by dyslexics, who live with a learning disability that can make reading and writing all but impossible...

Later, when he had to go through two hours of makeup to get the after-bee-sting swollen effect, I don't think he was so happy with me. But his son was there and his son likes...
...person Rodriguez looks more like a Maxim cover girl than a pugilist (she has dropped 10 lbs. since Girlfight wrapped). But when she speaks, she talks tough, skipping the float-like-a-butterfly thing and going right for the bee sting. How is she finding Hollywood so far? "I've met a lot of hypocrites." How did she approach her part? "I pretended it was a rap song, and I would recite my lines and recite them until I got the rhythm of it." Whom does she admire?
