BREAKING NEWS Inflation impacts on the use of language and precipitates further decline in the soft power reach of Imperial measurements!

Apart from more regular use of the term "wtf, how much?! inflation can bring about subtle changes in language to hide quite a big deal. In Spain, a 10-pack of eggs, not a dozen, is becoming the norm in supermarkets. A "decena" de huevos as opposed to the ubiquitous "docena".

What's in a vowel? Ruin, I tell you!!! And a pain for those who refuse to go metric in a warped egg market!

I have a dozen backyard hens all told. 8 super layers and some retirees. When a kindly neighbour recycles their egg boxes, invariably they are tenners now. So I've usually got 2 eggs left over.

It''s getting quite complicated to drop off a dozen neighbourly eggs these days, unless I work out a couple of extra shatterproof pockets for my shirt.

First world problems, I know. Although the empire that uses imperial measurements, and whose government is driving inflation, might not stay as First World as it wants, unless they sort out their inflation issues. Oh yeah, they can't!
