A few things I have often wondered about
:
If you take a room and line it with mirrors, and then turn on and then turn off a light source, where does the light go?
If Harry is short for Harold, and Gerry is short for Gerald, shouldn't Barry be short for Barold?
If 'un' is a prefix that indicates the opposite action of the verb it is used with (furl vs unfurl), then shouldn't 'derstand' mean to not comprehend? And, wouldn't it follow that 'der' means above?
