I hate to tell you this, but the “many where I need them” doesn’t work either. My mom has several pairs of reading glasses so she can put them in several places. There are two scenarios that ALWAYS happens. Either all the glasses end up in the car or in her bedroom. So when she’s home, she has to go outside to the car to get a pair. And when she’s out, the glasses are on her bed and she can’t read anything.
The hamburger was named after the village it was invented in. The sandwich was named after the Earl of Sandwich, though the guy that came up with it was the earl’s cook. And a popular soda was named after one of its original ingredients.
Isn’t the foot measurer still in use?
