Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:20:44 PMExpression: “A five star hotel.” There is a system for rating hotels and other establishments using stars.

Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:25:53 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:26:29 PMBy the way, the word buffet comes to the English language from French. That is why the 't' is silent. |
