BTGuy,
Much fun has been made of this English language. But since we started down this path already, I’ve got two more points for you to ponder.
1. Where are all the ‘second world countries?
2. We use the expression “back and forth”.
How are you expected to go back before going forth?!?
(The Yiddish version of this expression is correct. ‘Heen un tzurick”)
