Paul you got to simplify your life, stop using all those extra letters in words.
Spell color without the “u” and while you’re at it, spell aluminum like it sounds , four syllables - a-lu-mi-num.
When you add that extra “i” to aluminum, you also get an extra syllable--so much work.
Free yourself of all that extra typing/writing -
Simplify my friend - simplify.

That is so funny! I detest "aluminium" but it is in THEIR dictionary. I guess it's a different flavour for everyone....And the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe...all mimsey were the borgoves and the momraths outgrabe...
Don't even get me started on Chaucer OE

Never could figure out what a tove was, although I do know that there’s more than one and that they’re slithy - beware the jabberwock

What about toves??What the heck are borogoves and momraths? and where do I find a wabe??
I can guess what slithy means in terms of onomatopoeia!! but how do I outgrabe?
