とつく/につく



Hey there gang,

Since there seems to be a bit of a dearth of language stuff recently,
I'll pose this: what is the difference between a phrase like
もん」and 「島に着くもん」?

Delores breezed along the surface of her life like a flat stone forever
skipping along smooth water, rippling reality sporadically but oblivious
to it consistently, until she finally lost momentum, sank, and due to an
overdose of flouride as a child which caused her to suffer from chronic
apathy, doomed herself to lie forever on the floor of her life as useless
as an appendix and as lonely as a five-hundred pound barbell in a
steroid-free fitness center.
