English is a hard language. Cause there are English words us English speakers don’t know. Like “ Defenestrate” which means “ To throw someone out of a window” 🪟

It’s “and” or “also”, NOT “and also.” Both words means, “in addition.” Let’s dispense of the redundant verbal vomit. #LiteracyMatters #English101

Spock holding a black cat, with text reading: "I find your logic to be logical"
Friends: Look at you becoming an author and all, and writing in English, your second language! You must be so good at it!
Me: After years hesitating between the words "logic" and "logical" I finally learned that the former is the noun and the latter the adjective.

Both were about sex as power.
I assume this qualifies me for full-time/tenure, right?
