I’ve decided that the French are the leading cause for deforrestation. It’s their silent letters. If they didn’t print them, their words would be 30% shorter (or more!). That makes sentences and paragraphs 30% shorter. Suddenly, a 100-page story shrinks to 70 pages. Whadaya think?
Today I went to Versailles. It was grand in the original sense of the word. And it gave me clear insight into the motivation of the French Revolution. The gardens were absolutely gorgeous, and smelled so lovely.
Tonight, Mom, Dad, and I ate a Chinese restaurant. The Chinese owners spoke great French (couldn’t pick up an accent), and that was a fun surprise.
