As has been pointed out by many of the English-speakers on this forum ... English rarely makes sense. I won't defend it!!

I have to add that I am absolutely falling in love with learning Spanish. It is SUCH a beautiful language. I love listening to it, even when I don't understand it. I am thoroughly enjoying learning the history and etymologies of different words/sounds. I think it is an elegant language in the way that words can be modified to be extremely specific. I'm really enjoying this endeavor!! Hopefully a year from now, I will be able to easily write a paragraph like this in Spanish.

Thanks for all of YOUR contributions to my learning..........
