    The amount of time the MPAA claims it will take to crack something (in this case, 10 years) is inversely related to how long it will actually take (in this case, a few weeks).

    TFA in English used the verb "reckon" four times in as many sentences. I reckon I ought to have struggled through the German.

      "Reckon" is a common word in Appalachia. If you think saying "I reckon" sounds too unsophisticated, you can always opt for the more refined "I figger."
