Beware the voice assistant Few months ago, I had to receive my silly neighbors at home. I was so bored for hours until they left. Some hours later, I texted my sister, saying: "Hi Mary, finally our goofy neighbors have gone; it was so boring... See you tonight". But they actually were taking my sister from work to home in their car. So my sister's phone rang indicating that a message had come. Its voice assistant activated and asked her: "You have a message from Enrique; do you want it to be read?". As the phone was at the bottom of my sister's bag and she wasn't able to catch it quickly, she just answered "Yes" and the assistant started to read the message... Both of my neighbors heard the message and my sister was so ashamed... Then, another message came and my neighbors said her "Come on Mary, say yes!" but this time, my sister answered "No!". What a shame!

My father's teeth We live near to a small town. One day, I sent my father to the dentist to put him a dental prosthesis but in a town like that, you can imagine how the quality of such services is. Well, after the operation ended, my father came back home but the teeth were so big, just as I supposed! I wanted to laugh but I did a great effort to avoid it. However, he was happy with his new teeth so I said him: Good job; you look well, dad!... Since then, I guess that in the town, all the dentists use the same size of prosthesis, no matter if the client is a man, a woman or a boy, tall or short, thin or fat; they put them the same kind of prosthesis. And that can be true, because, when I go to the town and see people talking next to me, I can figure out if their teeth are real or a prosthesis...

The Gruffalo A little mouse goes through the forest and a snake says him: -Come with me (so that the snake can eat the mouse). But the mouse says: -No, I will go for a walk with the Gruffalo, an ugly monster with big jaws, a wart in the nose and yellowish eyes that eats snakes. Then the snake runs away frightened and the mouse thinks: -What a fool snake, the Gruffalo does not exist! And he keeps walking. The mouse encounters with an owl and then with a fox. They both ask him the same thing and he gives them similar answers. They run away and he goes on his own way. But the Gruffalo really existed and it appears in front of the mouse. So the cunning mouse tells the Gruffalo: -Follow me, you will see that every animal in the forest are afraid of me. They both go, see a snake and the snake runs away frightened; they keep walking, see an owl and the owl flies away...

Is English a Latin language? Some sources say that 60% of English words came from Latin but English is considered a Germanic language due to the origin of main words (pronouns, prepositions, adverbs) and the grammar. I found these very common English words that came from Latin: Just, people, face, quiet, language, school, port, naive, box, erase, joke, question, merge, delete, prior, assets, avail, deserve, very, carry, suit, exit, joy, poor, print, scissors, actual, gender, record, letter, part, voice, peace, doctor, rate, noun, idea...
