Dirt
I have to admit
Beer tapping is not my strongest point I have to admit.
But then again I thought I would be used only as chambermaid, I’m being used here for almost everything.
Cleaning toilets is something I’m very good at. I like other people’s dirt.
Other people’s dirt means taking a holiday from your own dirt.

The Horeca provides always unforgettable experiences. I did it only a few times and I can still tell endless stories about it. The food & drinks, the dirt and the elegance between.

Lexical stress and sentential stress are quite independent. Lexical stress is "word stress" and concerns the relative emphasis given to syllables in a word. For example, the word "chambermaid" has primary stress on the first syllable and secondary stress on the final syllable. Sentential stress concerns the relative emphasis of words in a sentence. For instance, in the sentence "I would like to speak to the chambermaid", the word "chambermaid" would usually receive sentential stress. (Although not necessarily; one can say "I would like to SPEAK to the chambermaid", e.g. in response to a hotel manager saying "Regarding your complaints about room keeping, I would suggest to write the chambermaid a letter".)
If you would like to talk more about linguistics and/or how humans process language, you are always welcome. I live in upstate New York.
Funny, your statement about dirt.
I hung around you for a while and my conclusion had two sides.
One: That you are a really sweet guy.
Two: That you are a kind of an Old Testament God who placed little balls in motion and then were very judgemental when the results you expected happened.

I can only hope no daily front page column will be dedicated to those meetings.
I would like a meeting once, mr. Oscar Wilde. Today my 'I love NY t-shirt got smeared with cherryjuice (and when I tried to clean it, some ruststains appeared).

I'd like to visit you.

PS Do you think you might rape me or kill me when I come to your place?
I had some unpleasant experiences recently.
Are you married? Do you think your significant other will be jealous?
