The worlds most hardest Tongue-Twister a challenge to all Triond Writers.
English they say is the language of organization while French some say is the language of love. What ever you think only the English could have invented such a complicated language both in the way it is spelt and the way it is pronounced. At the end of this article I will present to you what most English scholars say is the worlds toughest Tongue Twister and I have to admit even sober, there is noway I can even come close to getting this right.
First some stupid rules of English Grammar.
The plural of box is boxes. So why does the plural of Ox become Oxen and not Oxes
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find just one mouse or a nest full of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men, then shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen.
The list goes on and on and that may explain why some of us still need the good old spell and Grammar checker which as we know, can lead us into much trouble for even the computer cannot work out this language created by madmen.
Now as promised the worlds hardest tongue twister. Be honest try saying this and if you should succeed try and say it again. If by any chance you are French don’t even bother trying my French Canadian wife has been trying to say this for years.
The seething sea ceaseth and thus the seething sea sufficeth us.
Well thats all folks and remember be honest in your comments.

It’s not so bad if you say it slow, but then I am coming from the land of tounge-twisters. I don’t think any other language has as many consonants stuck together as the polish language does, that is why very few people even try to learn polish if they were not born with it
My husband jokes that it is the language of heaven because it takes an eternity to learn it. The following one was used in the past to root out non-polish traitors from its army:

There are so many rules in the English language and, some are totally opposite to another rule. Why? I really don’t know! This tongue twister is a very hard one, thanks for an excellent share.

Actually, English is one of the easier languages to learn. Try German for example, see how the plural is made there.
Hint: there are seven (IIRC, they may be a little more or a little less) types of changes from singular to plural (Kind -> Kinder, Frau -> Frauen, Wort -> Worte, etc), and there’s no actual rule to let you know which is used when (sure, there are a bunch of guidelines that enable you to make and educated guess, but no more than that).
