Mattress Stores and Vernon Law - Passages

What this episode covers

The Passages crew delve into deep waters, asking tough questions: What was A.J. Brown reading on the sidelines? Will Gen Z survive? Are mattress stores a front for organized crime? What is a spanner? Also, they finally get around to this week's passage by Vernon Law: "Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson after."

It’s just me and you talking about the bible, going through passages of scriptures and diving deep into it :) The Awful German Language by Mark Twain Loyal Books This long essay is a work of mock philology, one of several appendices to Twain’s travel novel, A Tramp Abroad. In it, Twain explains, complains about, and shows how one might improve upon various aspects of the (awful) German language. His examples of precisely how the German language is awful include the famed “separable verb” – which allows one to put the first part of a given verb at the beginning – and its second part at the end – of a given clause or sentence (which may, indeed, be very long). He also makes fun of the extreme length of certain compound nouns (which are created by tacking two – or more – words together, without using hyphens to clarify where one ends and the next begins), as well as the many noun and verb forms one must master (memorize) in order to use German cases properly.As the essay progresses, Twain includes a few hilarious passages that are partly or mostly in (his own, awful) German. Nevertheless, the work is easily understandable even by people who don’t
