Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When I was six or so, I got into an argument with a teacher about reptiles having pre-dated birds. No, I was told. God created them both at the same time. Checking Genesis, he wasn't even right about that.

Because it comes from the Old English "climban." English is strangly conservative for a language that lets you add words willy nilly.
And I still don't understand people who say "Missour-UH" and "Cincinnat-UH." There's a freaking I on the end of the names, people.
There's an S on the end of Illinois.
t lived in a part of Missouri that said "Missour-uh"

We have a lot of placenames that have that effect on people up here in the PNW.
