   I learned a character in #japanese the other day that was defined as amount; or picture frame. 🤬

   I was swearing at that--how can one word have meanings that dissimilar? How can I remember that?

   But then today walking in the city I passed the Latitude nightclub. I'd seen that in other cities-- it is a good name for a nightclub, in the sense of permission to bend the rules a bit.

   Or a line in the map marking distance from the equator.

   🤬 How did one word get such dissimilar meanings??

   😂
