"Double Ms" would be rare in Romanian, as bad as 2 Ms in Yo' Mama. But then, I'm so old as to spell the place and language with a "U", and to have marveled at the existence and survival of a latin-based language in far Dacia, overrun with Slavs, Turks, Greeks, and occasional nomadic incursions for sheep and daughter replenishment.

It's still good stuff, but completely unlike what folks must have eaten before "corn" made its appearance in European fields and tables, just as "Corn Meal Mush" was really a "Yankee" dish, not Southern, where temperature and humidity made storing ground cornmeal for an extended period tough, thus the advent of "grits", the son of hominy.
