Middle of the Week Day

Today is Independence Day (Mongolian: Монгол Улсын тусгаар тогтнол) in Mongolia. Also known as National Revolution of Freedom and Independence Day, this holiday commemorates Mongolia’s independence from China on this day in 1911.

Well I guess it all began when I started studying Egyptology. Yes, I thought it probably goes back to mummy issues...

I have questions:

Is anything easier done than said?

Do websites in the U.K. use biscuits instead of cookies?

Is the S or the C silent in the word “scent”?

Can you yell “Movie!” in a crowded fire station?

Would you go to someone’s funeral who didn’t go to yours?

If Apple made a car, would it have Windows?

Why are Zoe and Zoey pronounced the same, but Joe and Joey aren’t?

…more to come.
