Okay, now that I have your attention, could anyone tell me what form the Latin would take to read just that. I have used William Whitaker’s Words, which translate English to Latin, but there are so many forms, I don’t know which one is correct. The Latin I have is: bibo, bibere, bibi, bibitus – suck debatuo, debatuere, – bang spiro, spirare, spiravi, spiratus – blow (For those of you who are wondering … it’s the compression cycle for an internal combustion engine – and I want to add it to this shirt ….

Greg I have been emailing invoices for goods to be receipted and invoiced, have you complete all? I need to get most of the back orders Down by end of month. If you have completed all then will re-send invoices This is a genuine email from a fellow worker. And compared to some of the gems I’ve received from her, this actually borders on being coherent. Why am I posting this? Because I am sick and tired of the lazy shits of the world, the useless tools who take their part of anything half way and then, when you complain, twist the issue around to put the blame on you. I’m also tired of management who hire incompetents and then tell the decent workers to ‘just fix it up and get on with it.’ This job finishes on Friday and not a fucking minute too soon.

Dear Journal: / When you have a conversation do you say “period” at the end of a sentence. Or use bracket marks [{(brackets or braces)}], question marks?, exclamation marks! And quotation marks ‘ ” quotations marks OMG….just too confusing. I love words like confusable “there or their” and “to,too,two,2, ewe (just kidding u ewe)” and there are some really sneaky ones “weather whether wither.” I have that mad madness of dyslexia fun and funny I can spell dyslexic ten times out of ten, I think because it just looks wrong and dyslexia is very personal (personal personnel). / Children can be cruel but never as cruel as adults who should know better and choose to be cruel, kids’ learn from adults. I did not learn to read until I was twelve all the alphabet just “things” and words blocks of things a scramble, one day I remember it vividly the letters that were (we’re were where) words….were just that WORDS! Imagine that, I read everything that I could read most of the time three and four times I had no choice….wow not bad for an idiot…children are cruel but not as cruel as adults, like cold hearted teachers who could not teach or adults who are so smug with their ability to speak or write but have no ideas and never will. / English is the new Latin, it really is beautiful elegant infused with loan words growing and expanding new words invented and words welcomed to facilitate expedite and just making English in its variations the lingua franca supreme, I adore American-English. My first language was Spanish and Basque with some French and German a hodgepodge milieu a virtual Babel. What am I trying to say (?)…hey this is my journal so I can ruminate and meander with no rhyme or reason or give a hoot about grammar or structure just rant. OK nothing pisses me off more than when native English speakers demand that immigrants speak “English” usually by those that haven’t a clue about English (?) American-English, Canadian-English, and Australian-English it goes on….English within English varies and some words spelled the same may have a different meaning or use. Imagine an immigrant trying to master English and failing miserable a little bit like dyslexia. Daunting is an understatement letters words just don’t seem to make sense at all. And trying to speak English for some it is very difficult some do try and succeed others may never be able to speak English publicly. Reminds me of the time I was in Saudi Arabia of course they speak English publicly….how is your Arabic? Mine sucks. / Just a note I was born in the United States, California to be exact my forbearer’s arrived in the western hemisphere with the Spanish invasion of the Americas. I am still dyslexic and do my best to speak American-English and try not to misuse or slaughter the English language Oy Vey….ha ha! Tolerance patience (patient the Doctor will see you now) and being human not mano-a-mano…OMG another manifesto about mano-a-mano another time, words why they are all confusable in any language.

I’ve just dranken a large glass of tea. Yes, dranken Yes, large .. yes glass. I used to drink large glasses of tea, “all the time”, and once they were drunk, they were dranken. This is because I also used to utilize the English language, oh so very often, and with great aplomb. Sadly, those days have fallen by the wayside; but, no more! I shall drink my large glasses of tea, and believe now that they are of great and healthful benefit to me. In prior years, I was told that this is simply not so, that once should cut down for this reason and that. Well, in prior years, before I did cut down and started drinking more water instead, I was a much healthier person. I used to walk everywhere and drink large glasses of tea. Something which is, again, fashionable. Well, maybe not the large glases; no, myriad small cups of tea should be made, in endless repetition, and sipped in a genteel manner. However, I shall make very large glasses of tea, only a few times a day, and suck them down in a very gentile, let’s use it all up now and quickly, manner. And, then, perhaps, I shall walk.

A HUGE thank you to the hosts, Cherri, Susanne & Kristy and all the members of the Paws n Claws group. / George has won the Best Toy challenge, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Also for making me featured member !!! Wow, this is all amazing ! But then so is this group and all the people associated with it. I apologise I have been a little distracted of late. George is ok (ish) at the moment. We had a long conversation with his vet last evening and the outcome is that they want to do more tests!! George is having good days and bad days, but what is giving us hope, is that there are more good days lately. / That must be due to the prayers and good wishes of the groups hosts and members – even the vet can’t account for the change in the better !! Again, my thanks to all who voted and everyone involved in Paws n Claws. Sheila

Ahhhh… the English language. It’s a wonderful thing isn’t it? NO! ITS BLOODY WELL NOT! Its confusing as all hell! The other night, I was having a conversation about jelly wrestling. Only, I was speaking with some stateside buddies who, of course, were referring to it as JELL-O wrestling. So I had to explain. Your Jell-o, is our jelly… while our jam is your jelly. You can imagine their sentiments of “ick” when I mentioned jelly wrestling! And I got to thinking, because this isn’t the first time I have had problems with the so-called “English language” Whilst in New Zealand I had cause to wonder why the hell my aunt was going to the DAIRY for milk – and what the hell they were doing selling newspapers and cigarettes! I mean milk COMES from a dairy, but you buy it from the shops. I then found out (much later) that New Zealanders call their local deli/corner shop the dairy. Go figure! Reading my young mans cook book I discovered a whole page dedicated to the different uses of words for different “English” speaking countries. I will concentrate on the Australian vs American. Our biscuit is your cookie, but your biscuit is our scone. / Our capsicum is your bell pepper. / Our pan is your skillet. / Our spring onions are your scallions. / Our Hundreds and Thousands are you nonpareils… WTF? I cant even SAY that! And I simply cant imagine asking my kids if they would like some nonpareils on their icecream! They would probably scream and run away! Oh… and don’t even get me STARTED on polony. Our polony is your bologna. Only in Tasmania, my adopted home state, it is not polony it’s devon. And if you travel to SOUTH Australia its bloody FRITZ!! How many words can their BE for mushed up offal and butcher floor scrapings? It’s confusing as all shit as it is, but when you throw an accent or two into the mix well…. you may as well just throw the bloody towel in RIGHT now! Lets go back to the New Zealanders. Their ‘i’ sound is pronounced more like an ‘e’ for example. I say fish and chips, a NZ’er would say fesh and cheps. You can just imagine it. Me “Gosh those donuts are yummy, I could eat a few more of them” NZ’er “Really? I had sex the other day” Me “Oh… well that’s just grand but…. I thought we were talking about donuts” NZ-er “I WAS talking about donuts you dumbarse. I said I had SEX” Me “Ohhhhh…. so you had some kind of weird sex involving donuts. It all becomes clear now” NZ’er smacks me over the back of the head You see where I am coming from? It’s the whole you say tomato, I say tomato thing. And see that? For you to read that properly, for it to sound right in your head I would have to write TOMARTO. And that’s just bullshit! I have an unusual name and so I usually tell people to remember banana and they will remember my name. Because that is what it rhymes with. But for my stateside buddies… that COMPLETELY goes out the window because you pronounce banana completely different to how Aussies do! So you know what. I give in. I give up. I throw in the towel because it is NOT all English. Starting now, I am only speaking French. You should try it. No one will understand you but you are guaranteed to get laid. French being the language of lurrrve and all ;) / / Maintenant, je dois pas faire cuire quelques francs dans ma poêle, sans nonpareilis merci beaucoup. Amour à tous

but his national dish, Haggis, ain’t Scottish Shhh “Food historian Catherine Brown said she found references to the dish in a book called The English Hus-Wife, dated 1615. But she said the first mention she could find of Scottish haggis was in 1747. Ms Brown said the book indicates that haggis was first eaten in England and subsequently popularised by the Scots.” Sorry Joak Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

A friend of mine shared with me a story the other day that I found hilarious. Her brother was doing DIY on his house and went to a local trade hardware store to buy some wood. The conversation went a little like this :- ” I need some 8 feet of 4×2 please. “ ” Sorry mate ” said the assistant, ” We don’t do it like that anymore. It needs to be in the metric system now. European guidelines and all that. “ ” Okay ” said her brother and quickly worked out what it may be. ” I need some 4 metres of erm…. 10×5 ? “ ” No ” said the assistant, ” you mean 4 metres of 4×2 ! “ ” @*x%x ” Said her brother, ” I need a length of that wood over there ! “ I hope you find it as funny as I did.

I used to be an editor. I was paid to correct people’s writing, from simple typographical errors, to bad grammar, inappropriate usage, and confusing syntax. My greatest joy was taking a double-spaced manuscript and marking it up with a red pen until it looked like it had bled to death. Why did I enjoy that so much? Because I believe that the integrity of any written material can be seriously called into question by even one careless mistake. People who are wonderfully creative writers are more concerned (and rightly so, IMHO) with ideas and content than the nit-picky editorial details. It was a team effort … someone else came up with the impressive prose, and I got to clean it up so that, when it was printed, it would properly serve its intended purpose. / / That is no longer my job, but I still cringe over certain common mistakes. I know that I should not care so much any more, and the last thing I would ever do is to single out individuals and tell them that I think they are doing something wrong. First of all, we are not writing here on redbubble for publication or for a good grade on a final exam. We are communicating from our hearts, and even what I would consider glaring errors in some people’s poetry submissions, I would not want to change because, in many cases, the “mistakes” add to the charm of the piece and, in some cases, may not be mistakes at all, but calculated for the effect. There are times, when our writing is intended to be casual, that even I admit to deliberately letting my grammar, usage, and punctuation lapse into the comfortable patterns of everyday speech. I CAN loosen up … live and let live. / / But. / / There is one thing that too many people consistently do that is just wrong, wrong, wrong, and I finally had to get it off my chest: YOU DO NOT NEED TO INSERT AN APOSTROPHE BEFORE THE LETTER “S” TO MAKE SOMETHING PLURAL. My subject line was taken from a handwritten sign I saw in someone’s front yard; I laughed and drove on, but I don’t think that the situation is all that funny, considering the rapidly growing number of people who would see nothing wrong with it. Why on earth did this practice suddenly become so prevalent, perpetrated even by intelligent people, many of whom are much better educated than I am? An apostrophe before the letter “s” shows possession … except, of course, in the possessive pronoun, “its,” because an apostrophe there indicates a verbal contraction. However, pretty much any noun you can think of that ends in a consonant or a consonant sound (such as “culture”), to make it plural, all you have to do is stick the “s” on the end and, bingo, you’ve got more than one! A word ending in a “y” sound, such as “baby,” you make plural by changing the “y” to “ie,” and then adding the “s”; and, again, no apostrophe is required. My profoundest apologies to anyone offended by this little rant. I am very sorry to have brought it up (but I am going to post it, anyway). I really am trying hard to chill out more and not grind my teeth over things like this. The language is slowly going to ruin, I can’t stop it, and I have no business getting so upset about it. It probably won’t kill anybody. I am, by the way, almost completely cured of wanting to scream when someone uses a nominative case pronoun with a preposition (most commonly in a case such as “this is just between him and I”), when the objective case pronoun is called for. This usage has so completely taken over, that if I did not try to ignore it, I would go insane. There are many so much more important issues in the world to get upset about, that I recognize the absurdity of wasting so much emotional energy on something I can’t do anything about, except for voicing my opinion once in a while. It’s just that old habits die hard. I bite my tongue a lot. I’m done now. Thanks for putting up with me.

Many forms are somewhat like small cakes or cupcakes in shape, although they usually are not as sweet as cupcakes and generally lack frosting. Savory varieties, such as cornbread muffins, also exist. They generally fit in the palm of an adult hand, and are intended to be consumed by an individual in a single sitting. Muffin can also refer to a different baked good: the smaller, disk-shaped English muffin, although this usage is uncommon outside of the Commonwealth of Nations. As American-style muffins are also sold in Commonwealth countries, the term muffin can refer to either product, with the context usually making clear which is meant. There are many varieties and flavors of muffins made with a specific ingredient such as blueberries, chocolate chips, cucumbers, raspberry, cinnamon, pumpkin, date nut, lemon, banana, orange, peach, strawberry, boysenberry, almond, and carrot. These ingredients are then baked into the muffin. Muffins are often eaten for breakfast; alternatively, they may be served for tea or at other meals. Muffin, slang for a woman’s vagina.
