And KoB, because it's in the middle of nowhere lol. We lived there for six months, which was great, but it's eighty acres of NOTHING. And they won't let me build a tree fort, so there's no purpose for me to be there lol

You could go into the lumber business if there's enough trees. It farming.

Only a matter of time at this point, I´m afraid
My dad co-owns it with his sister, and her daughter now has a huge family and so it´s a big uncertainty about who´s gonna own it in the future . Well, neither of them can buy the other one out so it will end with a sale to someone else. And even if she could buy my dad out, he could never buy her out so our side is losing in either case. And we´re the ones who´s been managing the woods and the houses all these years.
It sucks.

We don't want that. We let ONE logging company in about once every ten years or so (the property's been in my family for generations) and we don't want to kill the wildlife in the woods. We like the wildlife. They's tasty

The word originates from the Latin 'Columna', which means 'column'. Colonel is a derivation of the word and basically means 'leader of a column of soldiers'. Hence why it's not spelt currnel.

Because the word's been kicking about >2000 years, and those are more than two millenia of bad spelling, deliberate revisions to the English language, lots of invasions from various other European powers. If you wanted to be a linguistic purist it should really be spelt and pronounced Columnel or something but this is English we're talking about and nothing can ever be simple.
AND YOU'RE DISTRACTING ME FROM MY ESSAY STOP IT I HATE YOU!!
mirocu
Dec 16 2013, 02:23 PM
It´s like with most words that´s been around for very long then

Sometimes you gotta have someone spelling it out for you, even if you already know the answer

I´m not distracting you. You are because you come here and allow yourself to answer my questions!

About the English language, there was some guy who made fun of it by spelling fish in some other way using the different ways letters can be pronounced.
Edit: Just see how I spelled
gotta! It should be
got to!

ti as in station
