  Vocabulary presumably means learning the meaning of something, which means the parents must have been pretty dedicated in teaching the child the word "twelve" without poisoning their mind with knowledge of how to say any other numbers.

    teaching the child the word “twelve” without poisoning their mind with knowledge of how to say any other numbers.

    Not to mention the small things in life, like “vocabulary” and “update”.

  Reminds me of the time I made a comment on Spez-site about passwords of exactly 64 characters. Oh wait. This is 128. Never mind.

  Is there even another sensible way to arrange these 12 words?
