Africa afraid
by patchallelPtolemy
by patchallel“I know that I am mortal by nature, and ephemeral; but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies I no longer touch earth with my feet: I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia, food of the gods.”

Firefly: Oh, I see, then it was murder! Will you marry me? Did he leave you any money? Answer the second question first.

by patchallelThe word capitalized is seldom capitalized because it usually comes at the end of a sentence, not the beginning.

by patchallelLove the Brits. They drop out as many letters or syllables as possible. I do not know. Four words become five letters. Four syllables become two. Even that could be considered one syllable: dunno.
