      I heard people used to just float around before Newton invented gravity.

      But I’m not sure. I think that’s just hot air.

        That’s brilliant

        PS: English is not my first language so I had to confirm if “hot air” is an idiom

    Can’t…unsee…the incorrect spelling!

    I have heard it pronounced “Beyonce” by a non-native speaker. The word is a boss fight in and of itself.

      Oh damn, I generally consider myself fairly decent at spelling but I’ve probably spelled buoyancy wrong every time I’ve written it.

      You know, those two times. I can’t say I’m often discussing buoyancy.
