   You would have thought that even if I said, “That’s not the way the word is normally spelt?”

   “That’s not the way the word is normally a type of ancient wheat?”

   …okay I can see that.

   Someone once tried to chastise me for my use of “spelt” instead of “spelled”. I mocked their illiteracy but I don’t think they understood my reply ’cause it was full of English words like “burnt” and “kept” and “knelt”.

   According to the scholarship I’ve read over the past few months:

   1) The rabbit was used as a Christian motif for the Virgin Birth because it was believed rabbits could reproduce without mating, and therefore could be virgins.

   2) The egg became associated with Easter because they were not permitted to be eaten during Lent, and when Lent ended they would be part of the celebratory meal. English children would also go begging door to door on the Saturday before Lent began to get eggs while they could still be eaten.

   For a few months in 2006 and/or 2008, “bra” was the feminine form of “bro”, so guys would be called “bro” and girls would be called “bra”. In the 23rd episode of the cartoon series 6teen there’s a line that goes: “I believe you meant to say ‘bro’. ‘Bra’ is for chicks.”

   It didn’t catch on, thank the trimurti.

   Gocomics won’t let me post emojis, so I’ll have to describe the emojis in words.
