(the dad from my big fat greek wedding voice) "Give me a problem, any problem, and I show you how the root of that problem is capitalism."

why the hell would you want to go back to building these god-awful houses? they dont have a shape! they look like a cancerous blob growing on a cancerous blob.

if you cant describe the shape of your house in a very few words, or need multiple sentences to describe the shape of your roof, i'm sorry but you've got a dogshit design.

houses should be square, or long, or L-shaped, or maybe T or cross-shaped. that's about it.

this is a normal-shaped house:

incidentally, what do chinese people and russians call L-shaped things?

Russians probably use г

The Russian letter "г" is pronounced "ge" and sounds like the "g" in "go". It is the fourth letter in the Cyrillic alphabet and is derived from the Greek letter gamma.
