Speaking English

Sometimes it's still a little shocking to be able to hear and understand the language around me.  I think towards the end of living in Zurich, I really liked NOT being able to listen in on others conversations.  I lived in a world of "tune out" that I really enjoyed.  Being back I keep finding myself occasionally shocked at what people do say.  Like the weatherman that said,

"Today is currently a smothering 107 degrees.  But hey, at least it's not 110."

110?  Did this guy REALLY just say that?  Since when is 110 a temperature marker?  The "non-occuring" global warming has already gotten to this guys head.

The Good, The Bad

Apparently the my questioning abilities are doing down hill, or the non-verbal teenage grunting has set in a little prematurely.

THE GOOD: Ah nothing.
THE BAD: I don't know.
