Holly cutting time???
You're expert on that. What is the plural of Holly??

[Brazilian dude]

It is actually culaccino(at least in Italian) and it is the penultimate syllable (ci) that takes the stress.

Welcome back, BD, and thanks for the clarification. I wonder why most sites list this word with just the one c?

And, for the fun of it, here's Babelfish's translation of the definitions on the treccani.it site:

Part finishes them of salami, salsicce and brokerage house. ; also the inferior part of a cetriolo, beside the stem. 2. not com. to What is left in the bottom of a glass or other small container. b. Sign that leaves a container bathed on the place dov'è be rested.

Gotta love it!

The average teen texts 3400 times a month or

And to think it was called progress when we went from
telegraph to telephone. Imagine talking to persons
first hand! Now we are back to using the fingers
and texting: regression??? Voice talk no longer popular.
