• "To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." - C. S. Lewis

• L'esprit de l'escalier: The feeling you get after leaving a conversation when you think of all the things you should have said. (French)
• Fernweh: A strong longing to wander off/go somewhere/be away. (German)
• Toska: At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom. (Russian)
• Mamihlapinatapei: The wordless, yet meaningful look shared by two people who both desire to initiate something but are both reluctant to start. (Yagan)

Because I like doing things the English way

• acknowledgement rather than acknowledgment
• either ageing or aging is fine (but aging sounds like ah-ging, which is gross)
• aeroplane, not airplane, never airplane
• aluminium rather not aluminum
• anaemia rather than anemia
• artefact rather than artifact
• blonde rather than blond
• burnt and burned are both acceptable (apparently)
• cancelled, travelled, labelled, counsellor, -- yeah, you get it, double 'L's!
• catalogue rather than catalog, and programme rather than program
• centre rather than center, fibre rather than fiber, metre rather than meter
• dependant = noun, dependent = adjective
