Why is a carrot more orange than an orange???

Hahahaha... the other day I was thinking why water is blue when it isn't actually, leaving aside some oceans and HTF it would matter if blue was called orange and vice versa. And see, how I am 'book smart' and yet cannot come out of the closet with some valid references! Now that's isn't smart but WTF! That's me! You take it or leave it! You know what feeling much better after a tumult within since last night .

Why is the carrot more orange than the orange. But then there are red carrots. Now i'm getting messed up. What has the colours got got to do with the moods feeling green,blue... And then these are some that i had come across earlier. The egg not being there in the egg plant,french fries are they really from france ? Why do you ship something by truck ? Recite at a play and play at a recital What is it with all this James and why are you messing my brains up ?

I guess the orange has a natural advantage of being in the open... [first men with power of speech enter from stage left] Well Nigel I was just saying to Doris... ooooohh wait a minute what's that?? That round thing in the tree? Yes, is it an apple like the one we discovered last week? No Norman it's the wrong colour What colour is that then? (note that original man uses UK, not US spelling of the word color..) It's orange isn't it? Hmmm OK orange it is... The fruit? no the colour, well OK, let's call the colour and the fruit orange just to be on the safe side.... [two weeks later and Nigel & Norman have named everything they have seen on trees and bushes and have started to look under the soil] Look Norm, another orange, but this one's under the ground.. Can you squash it and make sunny delight?? No Then it's not an orange, even though it is clearly more orange than an orange.. Oh crap! What a blunder... Can we call it a salmon pink? No you idiot, it is neither a salmon or pink! Cerise? No Have you tried eating it? Are you kidding, I just dug it up - it could kill me.. Let's go and ask Doris.... and that is how the carrot got named, eventually Doris went a bit loony and mistakenly called the same thing both flammable and inflammable and everyone has been confused ever since....

I think because the orange stays in the tree and the wind blows it's color little by little and the carrot is well protected in the ground thus keeping it's orange color intact.

Please, please, please... don't change color names or add new ones anymore. Do you have any idea how many colors there are in the world now? Maybe I should contact Crayola about this but for the love of what is holy, I don't know how magenta is different from maroon from fuchsia. And fuchsia is spelled weirdly, don't you think? It's like a cuss word or something. And why do they say that freedom isn't free? Speaking of carrots, I used to have a classmate in college in the Philippines. She decided to lose weight and all I see her eat are carrots. She did lose a lot of weight but she was starting to look orange. Really!

First of all how are you my friend and carrot is long because it grows in under the soil and orange in sound its having round genetic.

Why is a Pink Grapefruit called pink grapefruit in when it isn't pink? Goes also for the red ones..Why is it called grapefruit when the fruit that is a grape is totally different except for the roundness of them..

lol.this is heights in panda spanking.i think orange is more orange than carrot.for that matter,i never had an orange or carrot which comes from egypt.lol

Why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways? (Not my own thoughts). Actually mine are much more profound. So profound , in fact, that I dare not post them here for fear of your head exploding, trying to figure them out.

James72, you have chosen wonderful topic for discussion. English is a funny language. It is really confusing that why some simple words end with same letters, sound similar but in actual are pronounced differently. For example put and cut are pronounced differently. Go and to are pronounced differently. To, too and two all are pronounced similar but their spelling is different. This sentence reminds me of a famous hindi movie "Chupke Chupke" where actor Dharmendra mentions about these different pronounciations.
