Everyone always enjoys the scene in a movie or book where the detective reveals how the crime was cleverly carried out, but surely that doesn’t happen in real life (does it?) So where did the trope originate? A book? Is it just that audiences enjoy it so much and there has to be a resolution to a story?

I have a one year old who’s starting to say his first words, among which are “ball” and “bubble”. While he’s obviously not making the “L” sound, those words are easily identifiable to a listener. What sound is he really making? How is he compensating?

As someone who can sing kind of okay at a regular volume, why is it so significantly harder just to increase the volume?
