In the visible spectrum, white reflects light and is a presence of all colors, but black absorbs light and is an absence of color. Black can be defined as the visual impression experienced when no visible light reaches the eye.

Why do we have two sets of teeth?
The reason you have two sets of teeth probably comes down to size. A full set of permanent teeth would be too big to fit into a young child's mouth. So milk teeth act as a bridge until the jaw is large enough to accommodate a full set of permanent teeth. The last teeth that emerge are your wisdom teeth.

• Proofread carefully!

💰 Money quotes
Common Grammar Mistake: 😤
Mixing Up “*There*, *Their*, and *They’re*😱
(AKA the Unholy Trinity of English Confusion)
The Simple Rule:🤗
*There* = a place ("*over there*")
*Their*= ownership ("*their lunch disappeared mysteriously*")
*They’re* = *they are* ("*they’re gonna freak when they see the deadline*")
Real-Life Examples:
In an office chat:
Wrong: "Their going to the meeting in the other room."
*Right:* "They’re going to the meeting in the other room." (*They are*, genius.)
Texting your coworker:
Wrong: "Can you put it on there desk?"
Right: "Can you put it on *their* desk?" (*Their* = it belongs to them. Like that passive-aggressive mug that says ‘World’s Okayest Employee.’)
Talking to your boss:
Wrong: "I think there just not motivated."
Right: "I think *they’re* just not motivated."
(Bonus tip: Don’t say that to your boss. HR will be *right there*.)
Analogy to Remember:🤝😴
Think of it like a drama-filled reality TV trio:
*There* is the location queen. She’s always showing up *somewhere* late, looking confused.
* *Their* is the *possessive twin*. Touch her stuff and she’ll fight you.
* *They’re* is the *contraction couple*. It’s literally two people smashed into one. (*They + are = they’re*).
Imagine them walking into the office:🤗
*There* walks in late again.
*Their* coffee spills all over the shared report.
*They’re* yelling about how it’s “not their fault.”
And that’s how grammar becomes a soap opera.💅
"I better shake a leg before them ; clouds cut loose like a cow on a flat rock."
🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅
⚜Shake a leg :
▫️ Hurry up
⚜Like a cow on a flat rock:
▫️(US, of raining, pissing, etc) Heavily, copiously, with a great deluge.
