The Etymology of Terrible Tenses: A Committee of Conundra's Guide

By Vice-Chairperson of Verbiage, B. P. Bottomsworth

In the vast and wondrous world of linguistics, there exist tenses that are so terrible, so heinous, so utterly bewildering, that even the most stalwart of grammarians would tremble at the very mention of their names. But fear not, dear reader, for the Committee of Conundra has taken it upon itself to unravel the mysteries of these fearsome tenses.

Let us start with the most fearsome of them all: the Grammar of Groan Inducers, a tense so complex, so Byzantine, that even the most skilledประก of linguists would weep tears of frustration.

Or perhaps you are more interested in the Lexicon of Loose Words, a tome of terrible tenses that defy the very fabric of reality itself?

We at the Committee of Conundra are here to guide you through the treacherous landscapes of these linguistic monstrosities, and help you emerge victorious, with your sanity intact.

So, dear reader, join us on this perilous journey into the heart of terrible tenses, and may the road rise up to meet you.
