    It's a fantasy world! For all you know, this is a world where ordinary bricks are cube-shaped, and squat bricks must be special-ordered from the next dimension over. And as for "clear glass cup", perhaps glasses are so rare there that the vernacular has no single-word term for them; by translating the phrase word-for-word, the author is preserving this for you, the attentive reader, to infer from. Such careful and subtle world-building, and you, amazon reviewer, you spit on it.

    In a world of wonder, the inhabitants have the ability to rotate things 90 degrees thus magically transforming a squat brick into a tall one. That's the fantasy land I want to live in!
