But why is that??
I have no idea. One of the hardest things for my students to remember was that pants is singular in French.

Bwah - so true:
The Unused Cellphone App: 'Calling'.
"People resist protocols that call for verbal communication," Mr. Robb says. Translation: People don't like using their phones to make calls or listen to voice mails.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I've never heard "a split" before this conversation.
Me neither. At least, in reference to the painful-looking gymnastic move.
I have heard "a split" of champagne.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
tommy, what kind of plane is that really big Qantas plane that's, like, 8 stories tall?
People don't like using their phones to make calls or listen to voice mails.
Yeah, when I rejiggered my plan I just asked for minimum minutes, unlimited data. And do I ever use the hell out of that.

Other than work conference calls, I can confirm that I use my cell for these functions as little as possible.

Looks like it's covered already.
I do have to write a set of liner notes for a Bubblegum reissue, though.
tommyrot, I am sad to report that you are old and decrepit and your limbs are going to just start falling off at this point. You might want to keep a tape gun on you at all times.

English dictionary at home says split is often splits but no other info. French-English dictionary gives "to do the splits" as the translation for "faire le grand écart". Interesting. Can't wait to check at work. (Note to self: I really should get to work).

My parents would rather call then email and only my demanding it has resulted in them getting a text plan for their cellphones (since we are all going to be on one plan now). I am going to lose my web access via phone at least for a little bit. I may move to my own plan in order to get it back, but it depends on cost.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Airbus A380
Yep.
The A380 has two levels for passengers for the entire length of the fuselage. But did you know that in 1949, Convair tried to sell a double-decker passenger plane to the airlines?
It was the XC-99, a development of the B-36.
