I adore that little piece! And English, with all it’s complexities and absurdities. No other language has as much fun as we do! Nor as many words for the same word as we do. I think I read somewhere once that the Icelandic language only has one word for green. Can you imagine?! Think about how many shades of green there are!

Yes, we have a wonderful language but it can be complicated! Speaking of the color green, in the last 30 years I’ll bet there has been 30 shades of green! I love green...it is almost my favorite color!
