In the 1970s, before inventing the internet, former vice president Al Gore developed a mathematical formula that helped him learn dance moves. He called it an algorithm.

How did they have news reports before the internet?

My HIV results came back positive, so I'm HIV free!

I'm going to put a cover over my snowman so that it'd last all year without melting!

I'm sick of being poor, I'm going to buy a lottery ticket then I will have millions in my bank!

Buttocks are sort of shaped like two "u's"---the "true double-U!"

Why do people call "w" a double u? It's a double v.

Because "v" used to be "u" in English writing until the 1600s, and maybe even the 1700's sometimes.

W.

Ze French, zey call it double-v. Dooobluh-vay. Ze Germans, zey call it "fau", like fowl without the L. A WV is a fau-vay.

Two "u"s, in French, would be ooh ooh. Sounds about right for this discussion. (Toddles off, giggling)

They eat "steak and frites."

I don't know about French Toast.

A considerable amount of "Chinese food" is actually an Americanized version of it.

not such a dumb question but I wonder how the early explorers turned "Nippon" into "the japans"?
