The album, a diamond dozen of top-tier tracks, was revolutionary in the pre-Madonna age. One must alot the album it’s fair due, as the whole album (including collaborative tracks with upcoming artist Penny Farthing and Nicole Scherzinger) is a fantastic experience. As you listen, prepare to experience the wide range of talent featured on this album. The first two tracks are a full-on team effort: you’re in for a Penny, and in for a Nicole. Forget glass ceilings: the whole sky blew off with this eclectic mix of girl-power. The third track is an environmental soundscape: sounds of the sea are punctuated by the crashing percussion of stones smashing (here taken for granite, though it could be anything from marble to limestone.) The next track is spoken word, with a a local poet telling an old wise tale about the graciousness of God. The environmental theme is followed here with this story of the earth, given free rain and life by the Almighty Creator. Here, by combining new-age ambient sounds and old-age testimony of the Bible, the artist has her cake and eats it too by toeing the line between tradition and modernity. I slowly became more drawn into the listening experience: my interested peaked at the climactic fifth track: a sampled perfume commercial reworked into musical form in a bizarre fashion: as the voice actor names the different ingredients, she names the top note as sandalwood, when in fact it is vanilla musk: this fragrant error triggers the transition into the final track.

I got bored :^)

Orwell said it best:
>Never use a long word where a short one will do
>Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Sometimes long words are the most suited, and have a slightly different meaning that applies to the context better, but mostly it's pretentious wankery. Poetry and beauty of language can also be a factor, but most long words sound stilted, especially in the hands of a pseud trying to sound smart.

>The version of the proverb with “eat your cake” followed by “having it” does make more sense to many people, and that is in fact how it was first formulated in English. The Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs quotes a 1546 compendium by John Heywood, “Wolde ye bothe eate your cake, and haue your cake?” In his Yale Book of Quotations, Fred Shapiro supplies a more typical phrasing from John Davies in 1611: “A man cannot eat his cake and haue it stil.”

This point would be fair, if it wasn't for the fact that this is not at all the first recording of the phrase, which is in itself a moot point, because we are discussing what the phrase is, not what you think it ought to be.
The first recording of the phrase is made by Duke Thomas eight years before:
>"a man can not have his cake and eat his cake"
A quick google search would've shown this, but i'm sure both you and that ny times-shitter were too busy finding shit to support your weak as shit argument.
