This is actually in the Bible, Sarah - New Testament (Matthew I think?). I didn't read that part 'til I studied theology in college. I have long heard the nautical take-off. "Red sky in morning, Sailors take warning, Red sky at night, sailors delight!" ⚓️ nitter.vloup.ch/slewth/status/93…

I've always used the shepherds delight version, didn't know it was in the bible

Yep! Interesting, eh? Origins of words/sayings fascinate me. Okay, worse. I'm totally lexically obsessive. Symbols too. Spectrum kids rock! :D

I'm similar in a way, I find that I understand words (especially long ones) better when I know the basic etymology.
