[aside] [QUOTE=Liberal] The hell? [/QUOTE] We try to not use the same three words to describe what the previous poster has presented. (unless it can be done cleverly). You just copied the same three words. “international date line” could have been: “lose a day” or “gain a day”–something like that. [/aside] > [@](#): > > The double hell? The vowel is “y”. > > **twyndyllyngs** I googled this word and it came up “without vowels”. I’m aware, as are we all, that “y” does take on the aspects of a vowel. So, here you go: Welsh for twins. > [@](#): > > cool Not so hot rain ---
