I'm still confused about the gender of Spirit and Oppy! What the consent about? If Spirit female (so I think) then make it sense to keep quiet about her age and make she younger biggrin.gif

No kidding! I would like to know which personal pronoun (she, her or he, his etc.) I have to use by Spirit's and Oppy's gender definitely? smile.gif

I don't know about Eskimo, but English has lots of words to describe dynamic of the stock market. Off the top of my head, stocks can grow, surge, rally, tumble, fall, plummet, drop, swing up, recuperate, forge ahead, lag behind, grind lower, go through the roof etc. I doubt Eskimo have that many words to describe stocks.
