As the Sapnish saying goes "el roce hace el cariƱo", that roughly translates as "you get fond of the people you spend time with"

The "mast" in "mastodon" is the same one as in "mastectomy".

"The term "mastodon" comes from Greek roots: "mastos" meaning "breast" and "odon" meaning "tooth," referring to the nipple-like projections on the mammal's fossil molars. The name was coined by French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1806."

I'm ESL too. Maybe it's easier learning the writing rules as you learn the language. But even so, I find astonishing the amount of times "it's" is improperly used. I mean, it's not some obscure gramar rule (like say knowing when to use who/whom).

How hard can it be learning that "it's" is the contraction of "it is"?

Also, are these people aware that the word "its" exists in the English language?

People have no sense of humor. I'm still surprised that no "smart aleck" has corrected you on the "encarnation" thing.

I can imagine OP's reaction when they see a pregnant woman:

-These women totally turn me on.

-Waitresses?

-No, damn it, the pregnant ones! When I see one, I think they've been fucked. This one, for example; she's sprawled out, they've fucked her, they've cum inside her, they've left the lump inside her... How else the hell (could she have gotten pregnant)?
