Aphasialand
This morning, for fifteen or twenty minutes, I could not remember the verb "to crop" (as a photo) in English. I could remember it in Spanish (recortar), which is easy to understand, since I crop on the computer, which speaks to me in Spanish, since I bought it in Uruguay. But I have to wonder whether, some dark day in Aphasialand, I will only be able to speak languages other than my own. Fortunately, I have plenty of friends who speak Spanish, and even French, but there is not one that speaks Latin.
Geckos
I know that geckos
are related to dinosaurs,
but who would think
that they are related
to robins?
