Random thought: I imagine the English language could be a bit confusing to some learning. Take the letter C. More often than not C sounds like a K.. Cat, see? sounds like a K. Sometimes the letter C can sound like an S also, take Cease for example. Sure, the E elongates the C but still, there is a hint of an S. The letter A pretty much always sounds like an A, as does the letter B. The letter E? sometimes it's silent. Look at the name Eugene for instance. Sounds like the first letter is a U. Then you have 2 letters,, take PH,,, sounds like an F. Pharmacy. Then you have 3 letter combinations,, take PSY,,, sounds like a the first letter is an S.
I am not a master of the English language, but I do get by. When I was kid though,,, looking for a word in the dictionary,,, that was futile.

I taught English to immigrants and it was hard for them to learn all the rules about English. The thing that really puzzles them is an idiom. "Let the cat out of the bag" or "the pot calling the kettle black" can be hard to explain.

Just a thought....
Have you ever noticed that when they show people next to new cars/trucks in commercials, the camera angle is almost always aimed at an upward angle to make the vehicle look as if it is bigger than what it actually is?
I remember seeing some of the old Buick commercials that featured Shaquille O'Neal. He's a giant in real life but the car he was next to looked like it could support him comfortably through the magic of the camera lens. Next, cut to an inside view with him in it, and you could clearly see that a bit of retro engineering was done inside the passenger compartment to accommodate his statuesque frame. In that interior shot, he made the car look small by comparison.
Just a thought...

I am worried.... My wife reads LOTS of books. I go to the library each week, returning the ones read and picking up new. While I read one or two every couple of weeks, she will read an average of four per week. Most of those I bring her are murder mysteries/thrillers. Suddenly, it hit me. I have provided her with enough ideas on how she can do away with me, be completely exonerated, collect the insurance, and live happily ever after. So... if I quit posting on TRF, someone tell the police she did it!!!!

A Word To The Wise: Beware of emotionally-manipulative people! They are not always exactly as they present themselves to be.

Poor people have friends that love the person. In the end, Rich people are the loneliest people. Have compassion even if they don't.
