So that while they are Fat they will have nice Teeth

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
Apartments is an American word, and as we know Americans cannot speak English
Apartment is a long word. In English it's a flat and we all know that Americans will never use one word or syllable when two or more will do the job equally as well.
They nearly called a lift a vertical personnel distribution device.
In fairness, however, they seldom really say automobile - it's just a car to them, just as it is to real people.
Why...
When bank robbers raid a bank......
Instead of staggering out with big bags of notes....Do they not give the money back, and get the bank to write them a cheque.
Much easier to carry.

But trousers are singular at the top and plural at the bottom ( at the bottom of the trousers not somebody's actual bottom come to think of it that's plural as well)
Hopefully you know what I mean

But isn't it bottom, botti, bottorum ...? A sixth declension noun ..maybe..I think.
