Traditions are fascinating, especially when they develop independently in different cultures. And I suppose that's true. We all have to take things one step at a time.

English has some fun ones, although they can sometimes be confusing. "Jack" is a common name and also the name of a tool that can lift things up, but depending on the context can also refer to a suddenly increased price or an impressively muscled figure.

[ENGLISH IS ... weird. And often clumsy, but what can you do.]

That's correct. I was born in Napoli and I've lived there most of my life, but I've visited several other cities, briefly lived in Bologna when I was younger, and, more recently, Milano. But I'm back in Napoli now. Or, well, I was.
