For some people, eating spicy food is like riding roller coasters. They enjoy the ensuing thrill even if the immediate sensation is unpleasant.

Relationships are supposed to be all about openness and communication. There is a misconception that all South Americans speak Spanish. Shut up, care a top??

Twenty people were injured, but there were no fatalities. My grandfather fought in the Korean War. I forbid you from going out at night.

🔤 Root of the Day: “podos / pous” (P-O-D-O-S / P-O-U-S)
Meaning: foot 🦶 Many English words come from this root. Here are some examples: Podiatrist – a doctor who treats foot problems 👨⚕️🦶 Podiatry – the medical study and treatment of the feet 🏥 Podium – a platform you stand on 🏆 Tripod – a stand with three feet 📷 Octopus – a sea animal with eight feet (arms) 🐙 Centipede – an insect with many feet 🐛 Millipede – an insect with a very large number of feet 🦵 Pedal – a foot-operated lever, such as on a bicycle 🚲 Pedestrian – a person who travels on foot 🚶 Pedometer – a device that counts your steps ⌚ ✏️ Task: Choose three words from the list and write a sentence using them. 💬 Example (Coach Mat's): “The pedestrian used a pedometer to count his steps before visiting the podiatrist about a foot problem.”

A nature photographer injured his foot while taking pictures of centipedes and millipedes with a tripod, so he went to a podiatrist.

@Matthew Miller Yeah, but after I posted this, I realized my sentence sounded strange because millipedes and centipedes are too small to take photos with a tripod😅 I didn’t know the word “pedestal.” At first, I guessed it might have the same origin as “crystal,” but I was wrong!
