Other than brewery you have a masterful use of the English language.

If only I could pronounce brewery, I'd do this professionally. Who'd have thought that beer was man's biggest downfall

I don't think an absence is breakable

I am not sure that Australia is better in that regard.

You're right. For instance, there's no such thing as cracking a hole.

Or wait. Can you break darkness?

I suppose that darkness is a thing, it is the absence of light, so I guess darkness is "breakable" in so much as by applying light the darkness would no longer be there, but then in turn the light is an absence of darkness, rather than a broken darkness, or the darkness being a broken light. Both states are the absence of.each other, and neither of which is tangible, therefore it cannot be taken away or added.
Was that another philosophical question? If it was consider that my reply but also my standpoint on such things.

Hmm, light is waves that in some ways behave like particles. In that sense, it is more of a thing than darkness, which is nothing at all and can therefore not be broken, except by light. Light can be broken by a prisma, at least in Dutch, not sure if that works in English too (brewery?). Light beer cannot be broken because it's a liquid, unless you freeze it, but then it will likely break the bottle first.

The other philosophical question was whether we understood a thing of what we were saying. While I do understand the separate words, the sentences are starting to puzzle me. Puzzles cannot be broken, because they already are, into pieces.
