ENGLISH LESSON 3

ok here's another lesson courtesy of me.



limelight- the light that emits out of a special type of lime ( scientific name: ilumilime). some say ilumilime can even create electricity and is predicted to be the future source of energy. there is no concrete proof yet but scientists are working 24/7 to prove this potentially ground-breaking discovery.


spotlight- a game which bored students play. they try to find the light source of any illuminated area pointed out by the opponent. spotlight is also a store which sells crap!


blight- some say this is a jargon of warcraft, they are wrong! it is the broken english way to pronounce BRIGHT.
