I forget many of the grammar rules, but recall some. For instance, the verb
"go." It went, I go, you go, he/she/it goes. For plural: we go, you all go (or familiar) y'all go, they go. In the USA, there was a contrast in this between the North and South, for the Yankees (Northerners) had no plural of you, which led to confusion in conversations. In the South< "you all" meant more than one was invited to a party, etc.
Now let's look at a family name. The leader of Venezuela until today was Nicolas Maduro. But American forces arrested him and his wife, and they are now facing criminal charges in American courts. So their name might decline from Maduro to Saduro. If convicted and imprisoned, their name might again decline and change to Enduro.
And what future? Here is one possible future. In perhaps 5 years, then former President still will want to keep active. Trump invites a wrestling contest, Trump will take on first: Arnold Schwartzenegger,
They will battle in the new White House Ball Room. Trump wins, and then takes on Stallone. Trump wins again. Next, he takes on Berny Sanders. Though tired, the 85 year-old former, former President will next take on a younger competitor. Trump asserts, We bought Manhattan Island from the Indians for about $24 in trinkets centuries ago. Now we want to take it back from an Indian again. If Trump wins, he demands the new Mayor Mamdani, born in Africa but of Indian heritage resign as Mayor. Trump, in his 4th wrestling match of the day, begins strong, then holds his heart and stops moving. Suddenly, an observer stumbles on the cables, and the media coverage goes blank. Did Mamdani win and remain Mayor of America's largest city? Did Trump die? Or recover. When the cables blanked out, so did my access to the future story. We will all have to wait till 2031 to find out those answers.
The match is broadcast into prisons, and when the Enduros hear that, they assumed Trump was no more, so they changed their name again, this time to the Cheerios. And from Ireland and France, a similar note. Rosie O'Donnell and the Clooneys became Cheerios too.
Everyone holds his breath in the future, will Trump win the match against Mamdani? Will Trump live? But we must wait for the answers to that simple story.
Today, in 2026 everyone holds his breath, - for what is Trump going to do today? Some hate him. I voted for him in 3 elections for president. I generally support him, but not always. Trump is an action president.
So far so good, but his brash actions? So far, so good. Hope you all worry a bit about the President and his deals - some of which are good, but too much confidence might lead to big, big problems. There are other nations on earth, some powerful. We must not fumble. encouraging all the other powerful nations to join in an alliance against us.
