I could, and I know I should, and I would, but I cannot lift this boulder over my shoulder.
I teach ESL in home, and I cannot tell you how many times I end up saying, "I don't know why, that's just the way it is."

English as a Second Language For those of you in banking, probably more familiarly known as regulatory language.

Sorry for using acronyms. As bankers we try not to do this with our clients, and then I turn around and do it to the bankers.
