...someone who would desert a dessert in the desert.

It came to my attention today that the English language is once again just plain weird. Did you know that desert, desert, and dessert are all the same word yet totally different?

desert - a landscape or region that receives very little precipitation

desert - abandon: leave someone who needs or counts on you; leave in the lurch; "The mother deserted her children"

dessert - a course that typically comes at the end of a meal

I knew the difference between spelling the place desert and wanting some dessert (cause who doesn’t want seconds (you know, two “s’s”) but deserting dessert? And I’m not talking about a sand cheesecake…

Huh.

There’s just something about someone who would desert a dessert in the desert.
