And a wan, wan cheek of sorrow.
I knew her Fetch, she was called to die
And she died upon the morrow."

@abesamma.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gyIf you think about it, English is a language built on vibes. Rules are hand-wavy at best and there are so many exceptions due to unusual historical reasons. As long as it "feels right", it works. Most of the time anyway. #language
