Angie, I ADORE pumpkin pie!! I'll trade you Darcy for a day to get a slice And did Sarah Palin really say that?! Deary me. I hate to say it, but the amount of press the republicans have received since she was announced as McCain's second in command has increased interest in them; before they were just a bit boring. And now Obama may be struggling... Yola - I do believe forsook is a word And a great one at that. I am determined to bring the word 'verily' back into standard usage in the English language |

I just love that way of talking, so much more expressive and emotive than the way we talk today: "I mean, like, I really don't think it's a problem, cos, if you know what I mean, it's just not." I am guilty of using the word 'like' far too much when talking though. |

Oh, and interesting factoid for you all. The word 'ye' is not pronounced 'ye' as we would say with 'y' and 'e', but is actually 'the', as 'y' was a substitute for the sound 'th'. So 'ye olde shoppe' was actually pronounced 'the old shop'. Sorry! ETA: I just realised that I found that interesting but everyone else may not! Apologies, just ignore my ramblings! I was called back into work at 1pm to deal with a heavy workload for an event we're holding on Monday and now the office manager has gone home at 4pm and I have to stay alone in the office till 5pm I'm not best pleased. |

I bet you're not best pleased! But ramble away, I love words, meanings, wordplay etc. I know that's also the case for several others here. Do you meander over to the games and quizzes section ever? Might be worth a go. Oh, and the Wednesday night quiz? General knowledge but if you win one you get to set the questions |

I have had a wee go at some of the word games, but try and not get too involved or I'll do absolutely no work and that wouldn't be good I love quizzes so I should definately try out the next quiz - a Wednesday night you say? Not so sure about setting the questions though |
