   What Kristin said, or whomever she plagiarized it from. By the way, you still owe me an apology.

   I think somebody already posted something like this the day I guessed the movie quote as “Duck Soap.”

   Oh Random–you haven’t moved on? I was just doing my job, attempting to fill Lynn’s big shoes while she was away.

   Kristin – Did you just tell us that Lynn has big feet?

   First Mickey tells us how Lynn lays in bed half the day and now you tell us how big her feet are?

   Ah, poor Lynn.

   It may still be intelligible due to context and enough letters in the right place, but it certainly slows down one’s reading.

    OK, Kristin, I hold grudges for a very long time, but I get over them very easily. So you are forgiven, and I will never mention it again.

    #10 I wonder if this works as well in other languages. Si Señora.

    I think this explains why Israelis can understand Hebrew with no vowels.

    Repetitious off-topic personal anecdote to irritate NT.

    One of my daughter’s best friends is Finnish. Friend speaks about six languages. She speaks English better than many Americans. Her child eats vegetables; when eating dinner with her family, my granddaughter was inspired to eat vegetables also during that meal, though fortunately the effect wore off after they went back to Finland.

    Obviously, Finns (unlike Americans) learn a lot of other languages because nobody will (or can) learn Finnish.

    In fact, I suspect there is no such language as Finnish. All this time the Finns have been “having us on” as the British expression goes.

    I have been trying to figure out what they gain by pretending to have and speak a language that no one else understands. What’s in it for them?

    I haven’t figured out the point of the scam yet, but here’s a disturbing clue.
