Breaking News English

There is a phrase atbyforinofonthroughoutto English when someone gets a big salary that they earn "telephone numbers". A man atbyforinofonthroughoutto New York is suing the city (and others) for so much that it is almost impossible to think atbyforinofonthroughoutto a comparison. Anton Purisima, 62, is suing atbyforinofonthroughoutto two undecillion. Over 99.99 per cent atbyforinofonthroughoutto English speakers would not know or have heard atbyforinofonthroughoutto the word atbyforinofonthroughoutto this amount. That astronomical figure is two undecillion dollars – a two followed atbyforinofonthroughoutto 36 zeros. The only people who are likely to need this word are probably astrophysicists and astronomers. Two undecillion dollars is, atbyforinofonthroughoutto fact, more than all the money atbyforinofonthroughoutto the whole world. Even more than all the wealth created atbyforinofonthroughoutto humankind's entire history.

So what did New York City do so wrong to be sued atbyforinofonthroughoutto such a mind-bogglingly gargantuan sum? Quite a lot, it seems. The New York Post reports that Mr Purisima is suing the city (as well as two local hospitals, LaGuardia Airport, the transportation system, a bakery and even a dog owner) atbyforinofonthroughoutto "civil-rights violations, personal injury, discrimination atbyforinofonthroughoutto national origin, retaliation, harassment, fraud, attempted murder, intentional infliction atbyforinofonthroughoutto emotional distress, and conspiracy to defraud". Why? Well, it's because last month a "rabies-infected" dog bit his finger atbyforinofonthroughoutto a city bus; then, a "Chinese couple" took photos atbyforinofonthroughoutto him without asking; and to add insult atbyforinofonthroughoutto injury, he is routinely overcharged atbyforinofonthroughoutto coffee atbyforinofonthroughoutto LaGuardia Airport.
