Firehose of English

'It is astonishing how much enjoyment one can get out of a language that one understands imperfectly.' — Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve (American classical scholar) In this cosy little group, I’m going to post snippets of English that I come across and find interesting, with the aim of enjoying the language and making our collective understanding of it (my own included) a bit less imperfect—or possibly even more perfect! Let’s keep learning together. Let’s stay thirsty. Let’s never stop drinking from the Firehose of English! PS How very bombastic of me, I know.
