Silent “L”
In the word “caulk”, the L is silent. Please for the love of all that is holy, please stop trying to pronounce the L.
It’s perfectly acceptable to say you’re going to shove caulk in a crack because context clarifies the meaning.
Sticking cock in a crack, however, is probably not something you could get past censors.
Language Usage Guides
a nonthreatening guide to forming cases (including strong/weak adjectival endings), as requested by snowflakemelodies
a guide to how to use cases properly can be found here, and I’ve also posted case tables here if you’d rather not have the extensive explanation
corrections and additions welcome!
Just going to leave this here.
Rhymes
My mind has been blown: cats only have 7 lives in German! (They have 9 in English!!)
…because German is just that much harder to learn.
I suspect that a contributing factor is that because in German, the word for “lives” is “Leben”, and the German number that most closely forms at least an imperfect rhyme with Leben is sieben (seven).
Katzen haben sieben Leben.
