Holding no grudge against the vowels in caramel

Having dreamed last night that Bethany and Brenda came to visit me with Annalie (we looked at my old toy knitting machine, but didn’t have time to take it out of its box), I found an interesting post from Bethany in my feed reader this morning, talking about language. In a kind of video meme [...]
