Extra Ordinary Comics

like* ^^

I love how much thoughts/emotion come across in two little eyes lol, these should be turned into cartoons

little li knew bad words!

As good as always :) Keep it up.

And what about the verbs cut, put, and some more I can not remember?

Your work is as good as always :) keep it up

:P you were like me, except i was 13

YOUNG SHOELACE!

ಠ_ಠ Such profanity you are uttering

but its read different! lol

You know what else is confusing about English are the homophones: accept - except, etc. But "read" is definitely one of the more what-the-fuck prone words being that it is a heteronym (same spelling; different pronunciation).

Honorable mentions: tire (fatigue, wheel), fluke (many meanings)

Boner Jamz~

And yet, the past tense of "lead" is spelled "led".

Someone should hit English spelling on the head with a lead pipe...

Little Li is so angry. And awesome.

You should hand draw a G+1 button and add it to this page.

Comb. Tomb. Bomb.
What is this, English? What are you doing?

Of course little Li knew bad words. When studying languages, most everyone learns those first. Take high school Spanish...

*hugs the 6-year old Li-chan*

Sorry, couldn't resist :)

You make me giggle

@ Blue - Thanks for mentioning "cut". Several of my German friends have expressed admiration for the verb "put", because it is invariant across all three of the standard forms (present, past, and participle). Now I have a second example that I can cite.

P.S. @ Jake - One of the nastiest "heteronyms" is "bow", which has multiple pronunciations and meanings (as verb or noun, respectively).

Love you! English does suck, and I'm from the US. hehehehe

Haha! :D D'aww 6 year old li :) not changed much ;D

Magnificant !

I just realized when your first and last name is put together it makes lichen! :D

Loves. I am a teacher and just told an 8 year old the same thing! Poor little guy was so confused.

long-time reader, first-time commenter! i love your work, but this is by far my favorite of your comics. oh man, super great job! :)

Aww! Six year old Li is cuter than Li! (Cause she is tiny!) I wonder what six year old shoelace looks like.

Aaahaha, that's hilarious. So excited about the Christmas cards!

If that happens with people who speak the language since kids, what is left for the one who is learning it?

I agree with her about some verbs, WTF?

I still haven't read all your comics, but I loved the ones that I have. They're amazing, not to mention awesome style. Keep up the good work Li!

Wow, you really haven't grown that much taller since six? The only difference is a head and a bow! XD

And can you guess how we pronounce Reading, PA? What about Worcester, MA? Louisville, KY? Ahhh, English. Draught and Draft, Daughter and Laughter, etc etc etc.

you are my favorite part of the internet :]

:3 My thoughts exactly

So understandable!!

So true! That always confused me.

Oh you!

Bleh, the English language sucks but I lol at the 6 year-old Li using such language.

Love this!

little li is even cutter than normal li!

LOL! ;)

I was just thinking about this the other day, you mind reader you. I just discovered this comic recently, and I think it's probably one of the cutest things on the face of the earth. Yay Li :3

Today I spent all my time in the office reading the every one of your comics in the site (193) i love your work (and Shoelace) I also have a cat named Merch ^^ best regards from Cancun Mexico.

Yeah, I thought that too. I'm still looking for my fouton.

hehe the alt-text really made me giggle on this one X)

I'm from Ohio (America) but I totally understand that English is kinda wierd...ah well.

I'm hooked on this site now.

Their, there, they're. And all of the above examples. Ridiculous.

Whee! Go englishzilla! Nom their brains!

Awesome. Maybe my favorite so far:)

OMG it's so adorable!

Ha! Totally thought the 'read' thing was crazy when I was little, too!

Weather or not the weather is good. What a farce! x

@ Impshum.. It's actually "Whether or not the weather is good"
They pronounced the same but spelt different.. So damn confusing!

I loled at little li, cutest comic yet!

Omg! pigtails! and a Kitten!shoelace. Adorable! lol. I'm more of a wtf is up with those silent letters in words?!

Moseyed on over from Reddit linking to this comic, read all of them instead of working. Awesome! Sent some to my gf, she thinks they are super cute as well. Hope to see plenty more in the future. Go Li!!!

Discovered you on Reddit today! Now that I have spent my work day productively (reading every single comic of yours) I am a big fan!

OMG.... NEW DESKTOP!!!

Just found you today through reddit! You have another addicted fan now. Hi from New York!

We are now going to need more Little Li comics

Totally loved this comic today and couldn't agree more. The English language is a strange thing indeed.

Li, you seem smart, so here is a project I would like you to do. Find out how to pronounce the letters 'ough' as one. It's not as easy as it looks. Heres some words on why that is.
Though
Through
Cough
Rough
Enough
Everyone can try this too.

I thought I had already found the best webcomics on Internet. You are Extra Ordinary.

Too bad I don't wanna facebook account so can't see your additional stuff. :(

Kinda like extra ordinary vs extraordinary

Don't get me started on the size difference between 'little' and 'big'.

That still screws me up sometimes!

You're probably my most favourite person on the face of the planet. Just sayin'.

Agree w/ Aaron... more Little Li! She's hillarious when she swears!

I almost died laughing in the middle of the airport.

The first picture is a true moe masterwork. I'm always amazed how you can draw such very simple and at the same time, very cool stuff...

Read never troubled me. I have zillion other things I dislike in English. For example, the zillion (much much more than 3)tenses and genders. A language doesn't need them :D
But English isn't my first language.

Lolz... I like how the outfit was the same, only smaller...

I love all of your comics. It turns out my boyfriend read (teehee) all of these.
Hello Jacob :D

So cute. :) *giggle*

Hi I'm 6 what's this?

Awsome mate^^

These... Comics... are too... ADORABLE!!

*Ahem* Yes.

I'm just not sure if my friend Danny is like you or if your like here. It's just crazy

just saw this website on reddit. quickly became one of my fav webcomics. great work. this comic in particular is gold.

Just like Kansas ans Arkansas, why doesn't the latter sound like Pirate Kansas? ArrrKansas, it has to be different! and I didn't even know! :(

It's the same with "Live in the world" and "Live performances" I drives me nuts!

Yep, English makes no sense.... :(

Ha ha, yeah I still think the read/read thing is weird. But everything else looks wrong for that past tense. ;_;

It is also pronounced the same as red.

You know, grammar and spelling gets me confused too, Li..

English spelling and pronunciation, is terribly inconsistent.
just look at through, rough, and ought for example :(

And then you start doing crossword puzzles and get ensnared in the true morass of multiple meanings, idiom and colloquialisms that a portmanteau language like English entails. It's highly extensible, often imports foreign words in droves, and then sometimes assigns them new meanings.

Read and Red, or Read and Reed, but not Red and Reed. Garg.
