If I cain't pronounce it, I don't buy it!
just sayin'.
I do like French. It wasn't offered in my high school, so I never studied it. Spanish was and is helpful to know now that we have so many Hispanics living here. Italian came about because of people I socialized with and a class I took.
I wish I knew many languages. In fact, that would be my super power - to be fluent in all the languages in the world!
and produced in Bryan, Ohio
How about when the Etch-a-Sketch gets really old and the silver stuff starts to come out? In the old days it was surely toxic. These days? I don't know.
i could make stairs like nobody business
