A lesson in Latin

Expleo, explere, explevi, expletum*. v-To fill up

Rather interesting. So an expletive is just something used to fill up space. So people who curse are really just full of hot air! ;)

Hope your day was as beautiful as mine! (Spring is coming, really it is, really really...)

*In Latin, every verb ('cept the exceptions) has four principle parts:
1. Present system active first person singular
2. Present infinitive
3. Perfect system active first person singular
4. Participial stem
You really wanted to know that, right? ;)

Wanna switch majors?

Never! Besides, my artistic talents are not only non-existant, they're negative existant...

I would love to specialize in architecture history - it's just not so practical. What would I become, a college professor? No thanks. :)
