It's true through the US, though in England pony (poni) and bologna (bolognë) don't rhyme (or only roughly). Wink

I was a teacher during 3 years. I hope I was a good one but I am not sure because I lacked of experience at that time !

Which is funny is that in French, we use the expression "aiguiser l'appétit" and "aiguiser" is used to sharpen a knife/tool.
The English language also used "to whet" for knives/tools but this meaning is rather archaic.

Welcome Muriel!

~~~

The English translations for "aiguiser" are:
- to sharpen (knife, blade, claw, tooth)
- (to stimulate) to whet, to arouse, to heighten, etc

For instance I didn't know that a comma splice is the use of a comma to join two independent clauses
