I'm just glad that you can cleave things in two with a cleaver, but that things can also cleave together (such as peanut butter and the roof of one's mouth).

I am also thankful that the word facetiously contains all of the vowels in alphabetical order (even the sometimes y).

EDIT: Oh, speaking of which -- when US President Bernie Sanders* names me to the post of World Word Czar (or Tsar), I will appoint a blue ribbon task force to determine why the words priceless and worthless aren't synonyms.

* Or Donald Trump, as the case may be.
