Exactly! Languages are just like species! I recently read a book about the origin of language (it was called "The First Word" and was really awesome if that's the kind of stuff you're interested in!), and it made lots of comparisons like that... Like, when a language goes extinct, we can never resurrect it! We'll never know what it sounded like! Knowing the Latin roots for words is really interesting, but even more interesting are the words that have nothing to do with any other language! Where did those come from? Did someone just make them up? Interesting stuff!

Hot damn? Ha!

That would be wonderful! I'd fly around in the spiffiest plane in the skies!

That's so wonderful! My favorite weather is when the sky is completely overcast with clouds, and it's really cold (so cold that nobody else eats lunch outside, so my best friend and I can dance around and act silly with nobody else around)... but, as you can imagine, that doesn't happen that much here in Texas
