        Just for the record, if something is "ineffable " then it's something we don't have the words for. Something we can't speak about no matter how hard we try.

        Linguistically, of course, this means that if something is ineffable, then we ***can't eff about it***.

        You can verbify anything. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

          Inspired by David, I'd like to know about a word you'd like to upgrade with a better loanword from another language because you like it better.

          I vote for Japanese "gomi" to replace English "garbage", because gomi is such a bouncy, joyful word.

          What about you?

                          Put Whitehead's Science and the Modern World to bed. It has some good ideas, especially for its placement in time (1925), but he ends up too mired in indefensible metaphysics.

                                        Today, millions of kids walked out the door for the first day of school.

                                        I still remember it. Shoes that had not softened yet. A schoolbag heavier than I was. That mix of nervous and excited that only a first day gives you.

                                        Here is what I know now that I did not know then. That feeling does not belong only to children.

                                        Every adult who sits down to learn something new gets it too. The blank page. The shaky start. The quiet voice asking whether you are too late for this.

                                        You are not.

                                        So to every kid today, and to every one of my students who decided this year is the year:
                                        שנת לימודים מוצלחת

                                        A good and successful year of learning.

                                        I am proud of you for beginning again. 💙

                                                          In German, a turtle is a "Schildkröte": a "shield toad."

                                                          In Dutch, apparently, a turtle is also a "shield toad": "schildpad."

                                                          Jacob literally drew a toad with shields protecting it.

Max Miller just brought it up talking about K-Rations so let's resolve this. Please comment on any regional or cultural/etymological details you know of pls! It may just come down to the fact there used to be four meals for farm workers causing all this confusion... breakfast, lunch, dinner, and finally supper. (?)
