Palette. A pallet holds bricks and a palate tastes food
I bet I could hold some bricks with a palette too. I mean, it's basically just a plate for your paint. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
I'm picturing now competitions in which people compete to see how many bricks at once they can carry on a palette X number of feet
Now I kinda wanna prompt an AI to give me a picture of an extremely large Bob Ross using a pallet as his palette.
This is what I get for using speech to text and pressing send.
Palette sounds too french for my English soul
They're all from French. Pallet comes from a a word for straw, palette for shovel, and palate for the top of the mouth.
How about pellet?
Also French, from "small ball." Originally Latin pilla, meaning it's twinned with pill. Pill came direct from Latin though, so no weird French influences.
Damn the French!
