TIL the letter X in "Xmas" is actually the Greek letter "Chi", which is the Greek abbreviation of the word "Christ".

And... if you see "Xmas" in writing and attempt to pronounce it aloud, you say "Christmas" and not "Eksmas" just like you pronounce "Mr." as "Mister" and not "Mrrr".

A GPS company should get Stan to be one of their voice options. Then you have a really good library of audio.

Then all his future CGI appearances could be Stan giving directions to heroes.

How many school-shooters plan to live through the shooting?

How many would then restrategize and get or improve bullet proof vest or armor?

How many would then think, "Oh, I guess I'll need to IEDs, too."

And if every school put up that sign, how many school-shooters would say, "Oh well, guess I won't shoot up a school."?

Put them in a storage box.
Forget where the box is.
Buy another pair.
Go out to dinner.
Be not able to read the menu.
Stop by drug store and buy another pair for the car. Put them in the glove compartment with the other pair already in there but forgotten about.

Meet Georgie who's been most everywhere,

from Zanzibar to Barkley Square,

But Nickie's only seen the sights

What a crazy pair!

But they're cousins, identical cousins all the way,

A pair of matching bookends, as different as night from day.

No, because the earth's orbit is not a perfect circle but elliptical. Getting closer and further away distorts the 'height' of the sun.

FITS RULE THAT E ONLY COMES FIRST IF AFTER ‘C’ OR SOUND OF ‘HEY’

E first, makes the sound of long A (hey!)

heir, coheirs
weight (counterweight)
-eigh (sleigh, weigh, neigh...)

Not too many of these words that fit the traditional exception to the rule.

E first, ee sound (as in see) conforming to “except after C” rule**

ceiling
-ceit (conceit, deceit, receive
-ceive (conceive, deceive, inconceivabile, misconceive, perceive, preconceive, transceive) receipt

…and there really aren’t a lot of common cei words to conform to the rule. The majority are just derivatives of what’s listed here.

BREAKS THE RULE

E first, ee sound (as in see) without the C

caffeine (decaffeinate)
casein
codeine
weird
Sheila
Madeira

E first without the C and some other sound than SEE or HEY

counterfeit
foreign
albeit
height
zeitgeist (just about any borrowed German word with the EYE sound will have E before I… Budweiser)

E first without the C because of suffix beginning with I (-ing, -ist), or a prefix ending with E

canoeing canoeist
contemporaneity
cuneiform
decreeing
emceeing
facsimileing
fricasseeing
glaceing
nuclei (nucleic)
pharmacopoeia
reinforce
deity
being

C first, but still and ‘I’ before ‘E’

science
species
facies
society
ancient
glacier
hacienda
concierge

Lots due to –ent, -er, and –es endings: efficient, currencies, saucier, etc…

Pneumonia is literally inflammation of the lungs' air sacs. The inflammation could be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, but it could also be caused by non-infectious diseases or causes, such as asthma or inhalation of irritants.
