Ai, Ais

My first post will focus on one of those delightfully useful double-vowel two-letter words — ai. The ai, also known as the Maned Sloth, also known as Bradypus torquatus, is a roughly cat-sized herbivore. Native to the Atlantic coastal rainforests of Brazil, deforestation has reduce its range, and it is now listed as vulnerable to extinction. Ais are reported to spend 60%-80% of their time sleeping (doing so upside-down). They lead solitary lives, only coming together to mate, after which a single sloth baby is born.

The plural of ai is ais. Pronounce it ah-eee.

Now lets use it in a sentence…

“Oh my god… the ai just bit me, and now it has a taste for blood!”

I want one!
