This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done

When asking if a woman is older or younger than her brother, go with, "You're younger than ______?" as women are more age sensitive than men. Even if you'd guess she is 20 years older, guess she is younger. Then try not to faint when she says, "Why yes, I'm 20 years younger than ______."

To be more authentic. in terms of diction, Nobody realized that nobody would do it, rather than everybody wouldn't. It's a spanner in the works, I'll grant you.
