Why would it be called a Paris wheel when the guy who invented it was named Farris? It would be just like the french to rename something to claim ownership of it.
yes true, but i lived on irving park and lake shore for many moons til i had children, then decided an education was a bigger priority than staying in the city. (but man, i miss it!) oak park is the first suburb west of chicago and isn't very suburban. i'm closer to the loop (8 miles) than about half of most actual chicagoans.

I'm just pulling your leg. I just get annoyed when people say, "Oh I'm from Chicago" "What part?" "Shamburg" I have friends in Oak Park. I may be there on the 31st. Depends on if "dinner" means their place or "going out to ....".
You're right about the schools though. Anyone who cares about their kid wouldn't put in a CPS (excepting special ones). So that means private ? and that means money and the cost of living is already high and ? no wonder everyone leaves after they have kids.
Huh? Eiffel tower? What's that? Is that the same thing as the TOEFL Tower?
Funny that the French would rename something Americans call with an American name to something French, yet they rename things Americans call "French" to something non-French - French fries (pommes frites), French Open (Roland Garros), French kiss (baiser mouille). It seems they're just opposed to whatever they don't come up with themselves. Personally, I'd love to have a kiss named after me.
It does not make sense. The word pommes frites first appear in France or Belgium (French fries are very popular in Belgium) where they where invented. When discovered it , the americans called them French fries. It's a question of chronological order. It's the american who rename it : in this case, i said Thanks.
The Ferris Wheel is called "grande roue : great wheel" in France. We never claim that it was french.
Even the french sauce, has nothing to do without anything french.
Since in your statement, you said "GOD is a three letter word in the English language," That would be technically incorrect. Since you capitalized that word, and only that word, it would be fair for someone to assume that you were referring to an acronym G-O-D, which could be anything from "good old days" to the "Governmental Obscurity Department."
Since it's not clear that GOD is supposed to actually be a word by the placement and semantic devices used to display those letters, it would be incorrect to say that anyone reading your statement would assume that you were in fact referring to those three letters as a word, and not instead a three letter acronym.
To further confuse the issue, you capitalize it the first time you mention it, and then latter, it does in fact appear to be a word in your sentence. This dual inconsitency in usage makes it difficult to determine exactly what you intend for us to deduce.
Of course, the name given to God is Iaweh, not a three letter word, and the name given to God by Himself is "I Am," three letters in fact, but not one word.

So...is the furniture invisible or something? Are you supposed to pay a lot of money for it and just pretend that you are really sitting on something?
