@DanFitzWrites At some point I learned that "turquoise" is from the Old French for "Turkish," and I stopped caring about this.

... OK, I couldn't actually make myself stop caring, I'm not made of stone. But if I didn't learn that one until my late 30s, I'm definitely messing up something else

@quartzen I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A SEQUEL. Also I super haven't read it in... 30 years? Mostly I am lazy and get discouraged if my library system doesn't have things. But I can make an exception for the Piggy.
