Janet had posted her picture in her Halloween costume.

Hey PumpkinDude, awesome costume!

have been discovering all kinds of new connections between English, Latin, Portuguese, etc.

For instance, in Portuguese, to say "thank you," one says "muito obrigado." Port. "muito" = Sp. "mucho" = Latin "multo"= English "much.

"But "obrigado" is just a slurring of "obligado."

Hence we have the direct equivalent in English: "muito obrigado" = "much obliged."

Cool, huh?

Love,

Dad
