screaming, crying, throwing up etc. but Friends of Tonga just released a literacy app with both English and Tongan language books [see my laments about access to books in Tongan a few weeks back]. these are books that were being written and illustrated over a decade ago and being passed around our schools as photocopies of photocopies of photocopies.
cannot oversell what an incredible resource this is both for kids in Tonga and for the broader diaspora who often don't have the resources that make learning the language accessible. mirror books and not just window books.
The first reading apps built for the Kingdom of Tonga. Available in English and Tongan, Tau Laukonga ("Let's Read") is a force multiplier fo
Ok I have a question and as both a words person and a classics person you seem as good as anybody to ask. The idiom "don't look a gift horse in the mouth", I get that it means don't question good things, just accept them. But that makes no sense to me in context of the Trojan horse. If you're given a supposed gift that actually has a bunch of soldiers waiting to kill you inside of it, wouldn't you *want* to look closer so you can find out right away instead of being surprised???? I feel like by not looking the gift horse in the mouth, you're just asking to be killed by Odysseus's men later when you're sleeping. Am I just being too autistic about this and taking it too literally lol? Usually I don't have trouble with idioms but this one has always bugged me
There is a very simple answer to this and it's that the gift horse idiom has nothing to do with the Trojan horse! However it is unfortunately close to the idiom that does: beware Greeks bearing gifts*, with which it is often conflated/confused/paired despite being unrelated.
The gift horse whose mouth we are not to look in is a (hypothetical) flesh-and-blood horse. We're meant to leave the inside of its mouth a mystery because one of the things you look at when buying a horse is how good its teeth are. The thing being advised against is really to avoid treating the giving and receiving of gifts as transactional (but it has taken on the sense of not worrying about the details of a windfall** and accepting it as it is) (and been further watered down to simply mean one shouldn't complain about unavoidable circumstances, which are the metaphorical 'gift' in this [ironic] usage).
*(my personal experience with Greeks is that their gifts are usually of delicious food so I ignore this one)
**(bonus: a 'windfall' is an apple that's fallen out of a tree due to the wind, which means you don't have to climb a tree to get it.)
fuck you *turns you into a sphere*
Huh.

You guys know that common headcanon that Steve always hates it whenever someone curses or something is going down when he curses. Well, I raise you something better. Steve HATES when someone mention language just out of spite for that ONE time he said language and he is absolutely pissed about it. And itās absolutely hilarious because the team knows it and does it anyway.
Tony and Clint are fighting about who is better at pranks and the whole team is just watching this go down, including Peter.
Tony: Well I donāt think you can say that when I glitterbombed your ass-
And immediately, the whole team (except Steve) and Peter are screaming āLANGUAGE!ā
Clint in the most āIām snitching you to mom!ā whine: CAP HE SAID A CURSE WORD
Natasha, just wanted to poke at Steve: I donāt think Steve appreciates that language
Thor, genuinely believed Steve didnāt like it: MAN OF IRON USED FOUL LANGUAGE!
Peter, simply joining in the fun bc why not: MR ROGERS, MR STARK USED A BAD WORD!
And Steve is sitting there, absolutely done with the team. It gets worse when he tries to say something
Steve: Ass is not a bad word-
Tony, screaming: CAP WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT
Clint, screaching: I EXPECTED BETTER FROM YOU!
Peter, wanting to be an annoying shit he is and added more fuel to the fire: MR ROGERS THATāS A BAD WORD, YOU SHOULDNāT SAY THAT!
And Steve absolutely gives up and walks out of the room. (He storms out of the room, body barely containing his anger)
Imagine this happening in missions. Itās worse and gets progressively so when he is the one that cursed.
Steve being kicked and sent flying into a brick wall and getting a minor headache and then immediately ambushed by a group of burly men: This is some fucked up bull-
Steve couldnāt complete his sentence as the whole team is on the comms, shouting at him and making his minor headache worse
Tony, already flying towards Steve with a grin: Capsicle, language!
Clint, driving a car he stole and Natasha in it towards Steve: Cap, I thought you didnāt appreciate that language? (Natasha chuckles and Clint is howling with laughter as a series of grumbles were heard)
Hulk, landing beside Steve and smashing the enemies with ease: Bad word!
Thor, surprised Cap used a bad word and thought he didnāt know it was: Rogers, thatās a foul word!
Peter is swinging around, looking out as he cackles: Someoneās been a bad boy with his language!
Nick Fury, intercepting their comms to give instructions on what to do with the goons after but decided to comment something: You kiss your mama with that mouth?
And Steve is absolutely done, fed up and officially finished. He got up, angrily demolished all the remaining enemies alongside Hulk and bought his Americaās ass quietly to the Quinjet. The whole trip back to the tower was filled with small giggles and chuckles while a fuming blonde sat at one corner.
