Rapper & Poet Lonnie Corant Jaman Shuka Rashid Lynn, Jr. is known by his stage name of Common.

"Common" is one of those words that has a similar meaning and pronunciation in English, French and Spanish. Simialr enough, anyway.

Well, French & Spanish are Romance language derived from Latin. English is more of a hodgepodge, but does have some French influence from William the Conqueror.

That could be why English seems to have less consistent rules than either French or Spanish.

Considering the number of words derived from other languages that are in the English dictionary, you'd think we'd be a bit better with foreign languages.

Some of the standard phrases in English is because they were using the English word and the French word. For example: Last Will and Testament, null and void,

Part of the problem is the education system; part is that English is the common language for many regions (e.g. in Europe); part is that English's grammar is simpler than many Latin languages (we don't nearly conjugate as much in English as in French, Spanish, German...).

And partly because we were told we would go blind if we conjugated too much, particularly with those foreign ones and their exotic grammar.

Bah, those horrible conjugations. Instead of learning two verb forms, I have to learn six...

Reminds me of one of my favorite cartoons:

noooooo it’s those horrible verb stems again!

The Verb Stems are part of Chlorophyll Kid's rogue's gallery.

Stemo, ,Stemas, Stemat, Stemamus, Stematus, and their pet Stemant. Gaaaah!

Their last name is Dow. Their father is Napalm Dow.

Scrubbing Bubbles was originally called Dow Bathroom Cleaner. The scrubbing bubbles were ftom an ad campaign. It then became Dow Bathroom Cleaner with Scrubbing Bubbles and finally just Scrubbing Bubbles when it was sold to SC Johnson.

I used to love taking bubble baths as a kid.

I never took bubble baths as a kid, but have kind of got into them as an adult.

I do enjoy soaking in a nice hot tub, with a glass of wine and some relaxing music or a good movie.

Owning my own hot tub is one of my life goals.

Soaking in a bathtub doesn't appeal to me. It is the just sitting there not doing anything that would drive me crazy

I also hate sitting and doing nothing. I would need to keep my mind busy.

You could use your mind to upgrade it to be a Hot Tub Time Machine.

That was a pretty funny movie. I just watched the first season of "the Good Place" with Kristen Bell & Ted Danson. That is pretty funny too.

What's the Good Place about?

Kristen Bell plays Eleanor who has died and finds herself in the Good Place, run by Ted Danson. When they review her life, she realizes they made a mistake. She was actually very selfish when living. In the Good Place, people are matched up with their soul mates. Eleanor's is a professor of Morality and Ethics. She confesses to him and he tries to help her become good so she can stay.
