T-rex is really big. So is Deinonychus in relation to that terrible lizard.

They always look happy, though, destroying things and talking about English.

"I saw it!"

Something like the great vowel shift happened in German too: weiß - white, Haus - house, Boot - boat

The not-so-great vowel shift, perhaps?

A large vowel movement vs. a small vowel movement?
