Learning
Pilates classes + onesie
Hello,
My professor in high-school gave me an assignment to analyse a news paper article. I don't understand the following sentence (my native language is Dutch):
"The Estancia Hotel and Spa in La Jolla, Calif., offers couples sessions with a photographer, chauffeured shopping excursions, Pilates classes, and a onesie for the baby."
What is meant by "Pilates classes" and "onesie". I can't find either the words, either the expression in a dictionary. The internet didn't help me either.
Could someone provide me an explication of those two expressions?
Thanks in advance,
Stefanie

"Pilates, (pronounced puh-LAH-****) developed in the 1920's by physical trainer, Joseph H. Pilates, is an exercise system focused on improving flexibility and strength for the total body without building bulk. Pilates is more than an exercise however

Only if you're nonrhotic and think that's the same as pill-AH-****.

So there's an interesting question. Are Belgians rhotic when speaking English as a foreign language?

Is English the only language which has every case of the current tense of the most popular verb in the language, irregular? (Shakespeare sneakiliy avoided it by using the infinitive, since otherwise the line would read; Am I or Aint I? Which even daringly-modern bbc director

I don't know about the "most popular verb" business: "have" is used more often, since it can function as an auxiliary verb (the use of "be" as an auxiliary is encountered more rarely).
** that's interesting, i always thought the most popular 2 letter expression was "I'm" as in "I'm off tut pub!" I'm quite interested in word usage - can you cite a site which could address this issue?

I'm so glad you gave the pronunciation. I see the word everywhere. I've never really wanted to say it, but I knew that if the urge came, I'd be embarrasse
