I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
That's exactly what it sounds like.
"There's a clue in the language of origin, if she can pick it up. That U-R combination is unique to Latin."
"Oh, the schwa can be really challenging. And in Italian, you've got to be careful with those double consonants."

A sixth-grader just got up to the mic and said "I'm going to need you to give me a word I know."

gaping at this house which is 5200 square feet. Even with four bedrooms, where the hell do they use up all of that space? Is there an indoor tennis court?
I could easily use that space. Guest room, enormous library, and AN ENTIRE ROOM FOR MY WARDROBE.
Mind you, in my fantasy world where we would have such a house, we would also have housekeeping & gardening services.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I could fill it. A huge library, a big room just for ltc's toys. My own bathroom and a huge kitchen with two ovens for parties. Of course, I wouldn't want to clean it.

An essential for every housing fantasy. And if I could afford all that, they would be SUCH WELL-PAID HOUSEKEEPERS AND GARDENERS!

I can just imagine roller skating from room to room.
Apropos of nothing, I am kind of sad that my vacation bruises (I slipped twice on our first hike (in the rain, on a boardwalk), the first time landed flat on my back and banged my head and alarmed the people behind me quite a bit,and the second caught myself on stairs and got some glorious bruises) are pretty much gone.
