As is usually the case, blame can be laid squarely at the feet of the French.

Okay fair but it is your fault for speaking a Romance language and still just doing whatever the fuck you wanted with the alphabet.

Though through thorough thought you'd realize you don't have a leg to stand on.

YOU FOOL, YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD

English is not a Romance language so of course cludging the Latin alphabet on to it is a compromise! And half of those are the fault of, you guessed it, Frenchies!

"baby names"

Uuh, or just names...? There's no such thing as a "baby bame" since you name someone for all of their life, not just when they're a baby.

I can't explain why but I really hate old people furniture names. Hearing the word credenza makes me twitch like a CIA sleeper agent being activated.

I totally get this, that one family guy scene where Brian doesn't know what a Davenport was (same). I always thought a credenza was like a patio, didn't even realize it was furniture.
