nonnie - sing-I-can't giya, hahaha. He's getting votes from "votefortheworst.com" and I heard Howard Stern is pushing all his listeners to vote for him too.

12:05 am

hello everyone :)

12:06 am

hello nan

12:06 am

i guess simon said if he wins simon will quit, haha. apparently that supposedly happen on the original show in the UK, too. But he's really not very good and it's sad that other better singers are getting the boot and he's not. He wasn't even in the bottom 3!!

12:09 am

ca 7 if it hasn't been called

12:09 am

hi everybody that just joined!

12:09 am

but he wasn't in the top 3. the top 3 were who they should have been. They knew what they were doing tonight

12:09 am

whoa--Simon quit? He's half the show :)

12:13 am

I know but this "vote for the worst" stuff pretty much spoils any integrity the show has. They should probably work it the way that the "Grease" reality show worked where the judges have vetoe power

I ate about a pound of chocolate at bookclub tonight - i'll be up till 4am. true drbernabo, but i think it's because there have been these websites pushing people to vote for the worst as a joke

12:15 am

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - a pound of chocolate

ca7 means a word that starts with ca and has 7 letters

12:40 am

kkie - the numbers in the boxes below the grid correspond to the letter above - so, they are telling you there are no words that begin with the upper left 't'

12:40 am

then, below that, there are 12 words that begins with 's' & so forth

12:40 am

kkie I suggested you go up to Help and down to Angelsongs link in Friends of BAbble, and pointed that out twice!

12:41 am

kkie: under the left bottom boxes, there is a number of links. Go to the one by Angelsong; it is full of useful information, including "how to play."

12:42 am

so it looksa s if we've been talking to you but you haven't noticed

5:59 am

a foot, and it is still snowing. according to NH news station, my area won the snow lottery.

5:59 am

We had snow 2 days ago, currently, it's freezing rain. I demand actual warm weather!

you got that much eva ? wow im glad im not more northern

5:59 am

you sure did cliff!

6:00 am

and wouldn't you know, i had my husband remove all the structures covering my ornamental shrubs last weekend!

6:00 am

of course

gril

6:01 am

Now I need to decide whether its worth it to have the plow guy come, or will it melt on its own

6:01 am

cliff, do you think this kitten is Merplet?Look at the markings!

6:01 am

it's really sunny here can't wait till I can go home for Easter :-)

its gonna be 40 on saturday in central eva

6:02 am

eva, i was just going to say that i love seeing the merp pic, then the kitten pic, then the merp pic. kitten looks like a baby merp.

6:02 am

but there isn't any sun forecast forever

6:02 am

hi katie

hopefully it will pop out here and there

6:03 am

Hi Eva

6:03 am

I think it will melt before the day is over because all of the frost is out of the ground.

yacs

6:03 am

I saw an ad on TV last night with a cat who could have been Merp's identical twin. Ive seen that before, so there is a genetic template out there which produces this exact face

6:05 am

one of the kittens has gray splotches in strange places (like inside of legs) and on her face - i saw a grown up identical version at the shelter last week! amazes me.

6:06 am

they are all so beautiful Eva ;-)

here we go again lol

6:07 am

I love the little kitten! God am I tempted.

6:07 am

9:28 am

YW :)

9:28 am

thanks i forgot about that suffix

does anyone have the al 6/24?

9:35 am

Hey Brother - I don't have it but would love a clue !!

kind of singer al**

ahhhhhhhh about to start today's puzzle

9:41 am

seems to be a tricky one today, instantfame...

hmmm, well im up to 78 words. but im feeling like the last half will really suck

9:44 am

Me too, 78 and I think I'm stuck...

does anyone have the my 6/30?

have to hate 3 minute office interruptions during my babble rounds!

and i'm still looking for the al 6/24 if anyone's managed to get that one

the al ... can also end with s instead of the letter it ends in

a little more specific?

i think the al6 is a religious jewish word

9:47 am

muhamed al* + simple sounding of a sail boat

aaahh there we go!

thanks

also.. the one who was queen of the damned... the movie... who died... name is similar

ok, last word is that pesky my 6... does anyone have it?

ooh i actually figured it out

lemme see if ii can get it

9:50 am

al6 = the immigration of Jews to Israel, either as individuals or in groups.

odd- it won't take mylars. it works in scrabble.

9:52 am

is mylar a brand name?

yes that too, but that's not the definition im after hehe

dictionary.com doesn't have it--- supposedl the scrabble dictionary comes from merriam-webster. must find out!

9:54 am

it won't take "nigra" either, as in the substantia nigra part of the brain

9:55 am

dictionary.com has the my word = bark of the wax myrtle

yeah nigra won't take in scrabble either

9:56 am

yet other parts of the brain, e.g., raphe and pons, do work

hmm, mylar works as a noun- a polyester film- guess it does tie to the brand name

back again, ri6?

10:00 am

ties to the first al4

Thanks got it

10:02 am

tx fame

10:05 am

sure

10:05 am

won't take mylar, but takes ny5 and ra5 from the same company

10:05 am

I know, guess those were never trademarked?

10:10 am

Back from the Teddy Bear Picnic, and as a bonus, found the 2nd no 5 that eluded me this morn.

10:10 am

G'd afternoon Babblers!

10:10 am

Hello Lori - I'm back as well, just a few left to find.

10:10 am

I'm at 124. How much longer do I suffer?

10:11 am

149 is your target

10:11 am

Thank ye muchly.

10:22 am

im at 134, and i feel your pain, lori

10:22 am

I'm at 141, and ready to scream

10:23 am

I am at 117 and about to croak

10:23 am

Just 8 to go Lori - they are there waiting for you.

10:24 am

***sigh***

10:26 am

why are the 7's giving me such a hard time. Help with mo 7 and mu 7 please

10:27 am

mo7 - three letters of what Oliver Twist wanted, then rearrange the letters of the implement used to get creases out of clothes.

10:27 am

mu7 - mu7 ends in water falling from the sky, reached using a double consonant.

10:27 am

They are unusual words, that's why they're a problem ,inge.

10:29 am

149 words. DOne! Monkeyed the yi's, for the touchdown. :)

10:30 am

got the mu 7, now to the mo 7

10:30 am

Congratulations!

10:30 am

Both m 7's were new to me.

howdee buddies!

10:31 am

hi everybody. logged on just in time to get Haz's super clue for the mo.. tyvm, Haz

10:31 am

Hello BDG!

10:31 am

G'd afternoon BDG

10:31 am

You're welcome Aloy.

10:32 am

G'd afternoon Aloy!

10:32 am

hubby says Oliver Twist wawnted soup, that doesn not work

10:33 am

Well, I must get things ready for the kids to egg decorate this afternoon.

10:33 am

He wanted another portion of it, though. 'Please sir, I want some ?'

10:33 am

Morning everyone!

10:33 am

so many interruptions today, finally got puzzle done

10:33 am

inge - it has the same double consonant as the mu7, if that helps.

10:33 am

congrats to you LoriP... belated YAY!!!

10:34 am

Have a great day everyone! Congrats instant!

10:34 am

Good morning Angela.

10:34 am

Hi All - has summer suddenly arrived while I wasn't looking? What a beautiful day.

10:34 am

wtg, instantfame!!!

10:34 am

i don't know spellit - we got 8 inches of snow last night :)

10:34 am

Hello spellit - it is lovely isn't it? How are you and yours?

10:34 am

danke

10:35 am

feelin famous today.. beginning of my name is in the grid.. wahoo (-:

10:35 am

got it at last, is there a recovery room available???

10:35 am

OK thanks Hazel - enjoying the sunshine and trying to imagine 8 ins of snow!

10:35 am

yay inge!

10:35 am

A recovery room sounds like a good idea! It would be as useful as a penalty box.

10:36 am

Gotta love New England. It was 76 degrees here a couple weeks ago...then 2 days later we got 15 inches!

darn thing won't take sircar! humpf

10:36 am

I know, spellit, it's so nice to have more light and warmth.

10:37 am

airn

10:37 am

Oh dear sorry for that - been away too long!

anoying!

10:38 am

Tell me about it - my motorcycle was THIS close to being out on the road!

in Michigan we always get some snow in April, and everyone here is always surprised about it. ??

10:43 am

I guess after our mild start to winter, we were just hoping it would end the same way...warm!! :)

only have 66 words and starting to get stuck. looks like a tough grid . . .

10:45 am

It is a tough grid.

10:45 am

grettings all - 66 left

10:45 am

I have 63 and am getting a bit irritated...hence the chatting :)

10:46 am

lots of odd words

10:46 am

Hello knight.

10:47 am

hiya all. what a beast. 20 to go including mo6/21 and 2 x mo5/12. help............

10:48 am

one of the mo5/12 starts with cow sound and ends like music note - slang for money?

10:48 am

mo6/21 adds a vowel to the end of Miss Stuart the newsreader (or Miss Anderson, vintage Scots singer)

10:49 am

then there is womans name - irish i think

10:49 am

Great clues both. Thanx

10:49 am

the 6/21 adds another vowel at the end to this name

10:51 am

I guess I need an American clue, I don't know Miss Stuart

10:51 am

lol

10:51 am

ursh. have that one

10:51 am

hello all...

10:52 am

howdy, stid

10:52 am

any clue on the mo7?

10:52 am

There was a ballerina, Miss Shearer (appeared in the film 'Red Shoes;)

10:52 am

Hello stidmama.

10:52 am

hello stid

10:52 am

knight add another vowel to the mo5/12 before (womans name)

10:52 am

mo7/32 - a charged particle is reached by means of a double helping of a consonant.

10:52 am

brb.. need food.. 10 to find..

10:53 am

ursh thats 6 letters

10:53 am

need the mo7

10:53 am

oh darn - sorry - concentrating on ra's

10:53 am

ooh HAz! thanks for that mo7!

10:53 am

knight - I clued it below at 10.52.

10:53 am

Haz. You are brilliant but i need another mo5/12 to finish the m words. Then will tackle 4 x ca words

10:54 am

You're welcome stidmama.

10:54 am

Alleyn, I'll run through the mo5/12 words for you.

10:54 am

alleyn do you have the mo (damp)

10:54 am

ty haz that finshed the 7s for me

10:55 am

mo5/12 - the woman's name, the quality of dampness, extension of mo4/5 (backwards means of making cloth), the point of the story,

10:55 am

why is it not mooli?

10:56 am

Because it's a different vowel on the end....

hey, that word for a billiards shot is in here (it was in the grid a few days ago too), both spellings

10:56 am

cos thats what you squish baby food with!! lol

10:56 am

got the one with an a!

10:57 am

billiards shot, gwen? *regretting not looking up every unfamiliar term*

10:59 am

Haz. You star. off to the gym - groan and takcle last 17 on return

11:00 am

later Alleyn...

11:00 am

Hi. Back again. I am missing the ca 4 word that comes between ca 4 Adam's firstborn and the other boy's name.

11:00 am

Have a good time at the gym, Alleyn.

11:01 am

ca plus the beginnings of not high, Merk.

11:01 am

Merk it means "a variety of Spanish influenced by Mexican underworld argot with a large admixture of English words, spoken esp. by young Mexican-Americans in cities of the southwestern U.S." abbreviate largest US state by economic status + vowel

gr6/36 anyone?

11:01 am

gr6/36 - makes a colour into an adverb

11:01 am

ty again Haz

okay, TY merk!

11:02 am

No problem, Merk.

11:02 am

I am still missing the two ca 7 ... not the dead meat. I asked before and then the telephone rang and I left. Never got to read any clues.

11:03 am

The dead meat one is mirrored in structure by a later one. One vowel is changed to a sometimes vowel.

11:04 am

The other one, ca7/40 - gives a participle or gerund ending to a man's name. It mirrors the structure of a popular winter sport/hairdressing technique.

11:06 am

Afternoon all........

11:06 am

I got the man's name and gerund ending, not the sometimes other vowel one yet. ty

11:06 am

hello caitlyn!

11:06 am

Good afternoon, caitlyn.

11:06 am

hi cait

11:07 am

Merk, the other CA 7 that was clued is a type of luggage you travel with...

11:07 am

Merk - other people hinted at it as being the sort of luggage that could be taken into an aircraft, rather than put in the hold.

11:07 am

I just got it ... and I should know ... I always bring it on the plane with me!

11:07 am

ty stid and haz

11:08 am

hmmm. only 41 so far with no list...

12:11 pm

trying to hold off on going to the list.

12:11 pm

four more minutes and then I am going to do some house and yardword before I go visit my mother.

12:11 pm

this grid is murder, ekven with the list, Walnut

12:12 pm

I finished using morewords.com which was not accessible earlier today

12:13 pm

good question, inge. Tor is Adam and Ava's "problem child" the one who didn't finish school and now works for merchants and others who have "products" they need to move from one place to another. A wanderer by nature, he is starting to settle down a bit in maturity but still tends to have a short fuse.

12:13 pm

ok, I feel more familiar now with the characters

12:14 pm

yes, with big families it's hard to keep everyone straight. Took me years to figure out in my own family that the Auntie Eva who was my grandmother's aunt was the Eva who married my grandfather's uncle... LOL and I still don't have all the cousins straight in my head!

12:15 pm

Hi stid, inge, et al

8:40 pm

Hi gwenski, you can get quite a few in 30 minutes

8:40 pm

it's all in that corner scrab

8:40 pm

Sure, dive in, see what treasures you can find, then resurface and swim away.

8:41 pm

scrabbler, mo4.6 is to make a pouty face or grimace

8:41 pm

[Of course, I just greeted y'all so you would read the news flash in my profile]

8:48 pm

Good idea, nut.

8:48 pm

dogs need to meet the little bundle. they'll take to him with no problem

good luck to all who are just starting -- lots of "not a word" words in here!

10:14 pm

silverdust, this is a rotten one to start with. There are several ways to get help -- do you know about Lickety"s list?

silver, most of them don't have so many oddities in'em

10:15 pm

since when did any more become one word?

10:15 pm

Grump

10:15 pm

fireworks. ty for the clues.

silver, you get get a boatload of clues: click on the tiny green link at the bottom for Lickety Splits Clues

10:15 pm

BTW, frierworks!

10:22 pm

congrats gwen.

10:23 pm

this one was tricky.

10:23 pm

wd gwen !!!

no doute !

plus everything was spelled wrong LOL

10:24 pm

i just found out my photo is hanging in a salon woohoo lol :)

i think nonloan should be a word, since you get it from banks a lot

10:25 pm

YAY Gwen!!! (why do we persist with this nonsense?)

carra, your whole head or just your hair??

cuz it's fun, usually 8-)

10:26 pm

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v353 /miss_carra/CarraGiovanniCouture.jpg

or gilty

10:27 pm

that one.. i might go take photos of it.. i dont want the salon to think im weird though haha

10:27 pm

yoyo !

10:27 pm

nono!

10:27 pm

been there carra. no yoyo for you!

(going to look at salon photo)

10:28 pm

yes yes

oh my, did you win the Oscar? that's a heck of a gown!

10:28 pm

it was for the designers website/promotional material/press packet

10:28 pm

wow carra!!!

scringe!

10:28 pm

his gowns are amazing

10:29 pm

so are you, carra!

but can you walk wearing that? or eat? LOL

10:29 pm

thanks

10:30 pm

Gwen actually yes lol.. I was twirling ..jumping... eating in it

10:30 pm

hi peeps!

10:30 pm

hiya monkeym!

10:30 pm

http://www.giovanniravello.com/

very brave, carra LOL

10:30 pm

thats his site

monkey, howda doon?

you will need clues for about 80% of the grid!!

wow guys

thanks for the lickety spils clues tip

10:32 pm

i was actually sick during that ( sniffles, hot/cold flashes) but i was so excited about it :)

i was super lost

10:32 pm

so true gwen , i only have 53 words

no one can finish without Lickety, except the really insane addicts LOL

10:33 pm

ying should be a word

10:34 pm

your the ying to my yang? lol

one often finds words in the grid that it won't take. it is attached to an abridged dictionary, i assume

which really is a good thing, since if it was attached to the OED there would be thousands of words in there!

grinny!

10:36 pm

i like when i type in a word fast but miss a letter but then it accepted :)

10:36 pm

silver -- another big helper is www.morewords.com -- especially with a grid like this one

10:36 pm

other words that should have been accepted: mylar, crayloa, aryan

i started a list of the "weird" words (in a MSWord doc) and I use it to find the same weird words next time. very handy

10:37 pm

oops. crayola. but now i see it's not even in there. lol

10:37 pm

sour grapes.

crayola uses the A twice, though -- i tried that too

it takes some words that a brand names, like ra5, and refuses others, like mylar. you just have to type them all in

10:38 pm

carra, is that designer established? if not he should audition for project runwy

10:38 pm

runway

my word list is only 240 pages long. who, me, obsessive? naaaaaw . . .

10:39 pm

is ra5 a brand name or an actual material?

10:39 pm

it takes some french words like no** but refuses others...

ra5 has gone the way of aspirin, i guess: used to be a brand name, has become a generic

its an actual material- synthetic

10:40 pm

like BandAids and Xerox

yup! tho i bet this game wouldn't take either of those!

10:40 pm

who generates these grids? anyone know?

10:41 pm

i've found that going back to the archived chat log is sooooo helpful as far as clues go.

10:41 pm

I think they are computer generated by Dr_God

10:58 pm

lol. yes Gwen. good answer

10:59 pm

here I've been looking at to4/5 and thinking it couldn't be a real word but it is, meaning empty or vacant -- who knew?

i thought that show was appalling when it started, and now it's been running how long? OMG

10:59 pm

hear hear Gwen

one Scottish dialect word it accepts. There are lots it won't, too

11:00 pm

i love survivor, it's fun

11:01 pm

Missing 2 M's - mo x 14; mu x 5 and my x 1

TY, but i'm dead serious. what rot.

11:02 pm

15 MOs,

11:02 pm

monkey..if that's all one watches

and an me4

11:02 pm

I have never gotten into the reality shows one whit.

11:02 pm

missing an me4

when candid camera was the only reality show, maybe. but now there are dozens. Yeech!

11:03 pm

true Mom...but i've seen many of my writer friends here in Los Angeles lose work to them

11:03 pm

I have to admit I like a couple of the Bravo reality shows -Project Runway and Top Chef

i can just stomach mythbusters, which has something like a reality show format

11:03 pm

Mom01...it's more from a political perspective than a cynical audience perspective

11:04 pm

but i understand they're totally entertaining

11:04 pm

jinxie2300 ¿ Cúantas palabras tienes?

and occasionally i watched insomniac, which also had a reality-show-like format

11:05 pm

the trouble is, we're raising a whole generation that expects sound bites instead of analysis. And the distinction between news and entertainment is blurred.....

but reality shows where the victims have to be cutthroat bastards to "win" are just sick, IMO

11:05 pm

Huga...did you get the me4/5?

11:05 pm

yes... I did.. don't know why I didn't see it right off either. down to 5... 2 S's and 3 r's

11:05 pm

It started long before the latest glurge of reality shows, but I don't think they help any!

11:05 pm

harpjane..i totally agree. look at MSNBC..it's like watching tabloid news

dictionary dot clam says me4 is not a word. me + two other vowels

11:06 pm

yeah i found that odd Gwen

glurge! great word!!

11:06 pm

Harp, it all comes around....next generation will do something totally different

11:06 pm

I have sc x 10... need 2

11:06 pm

When a former WWW star becomes a governor...

cuz babble is not attached to that dictionary

al6,24 ?

11:06 pm

The Today Show is not much better than MSNBC

11:07 pm

just got an si5

al6 is not a word: famous boxer Mohammed *** + spell backward the thing kids play with

11:07 pm

I mean, Matt Lauer's appendectomy is interesting, but it's not really news....

I won't even HAVE a tv when the HDTV thing comes in

11:08 pm

dispatch..it's an sc5/16

11:09 pm

oh sorry

11:09 pm

u're right

the FCC was corrupted 2 days after W took office. you see what has happened to the tv, radio, etc, since

11:09 pm

sc5/14 is kind of like what you do to a rusty pan, different middle vowel

sc5/14: sc + the magical glow around a living person, minus the last letter

11:09 pm

there's an sc5/14, it's like the sc4/5 with an extra vowel near the end

11:09 pm

LOL! what HASN'T been corrupted since HE took office?!?!

11:09 pm

sc5/14 -a respell of to use cleanser to clean pots

11:10 pm

lol Mom

mom, just two things, one of which is my anatomy LOL

11:10 pm

Oh, it was bad long before W came in, maybe made worse now.

11:11 pm

ri6/18 clue please?

ri6, what news on the ri****?

11:12 pm

My nephew analyzed two segments, Larry King interviewing someone and Bill O'Reily interviewing the same person. In a 9 minute interview, the person was able to make something like 5 times more statement than in O'R. Because of the difference in so-called objective journalistic styles.

11:12 pm

ri6: a square in Venice

(an Italian word but it's in Shakespeare so it's in the Eng dict too)

11:12 pm

no - not at all painful - no root there - i called my dentist at home - (how great is that?!?!) just to make sure i wasn't hazarding an infection, but he says not to worry - whew - just a nuisance now

bill o'reilily really needs to be put down (not killed, just gotten far away from broadcasting)

11:13 pm

yeah. he's dangerous i think

11:13 pm

that's good helen

11:13 pm

i vote for putting him down....veterinarian style

11:13 pm

or we could just neuter him, it made my cat nicer....

11:13 pm

al5?

11:14 pm

and Fireworks... thanks so much Gwen and MM

if the FCC were run by proper bureacrats -- meaning people who do their jobs right -- he would be gone, gone, gone!

11:14 pm

congrats Hugs

hug, WTG!!

11:14 pm

horray for you hugs!!!

11:14 pm

11:15 pm

11:15 pm

11:17 pm

yep mom - idiots all around!

11:17 pm

11:18 pm

i have a feeling the next grid's gonna be monstrously huge

11:18 pm

like 300 something

don't blind people use atms? i mean folks who read braille but are not 100% blind?

11:18 pm

I saw that clue early today and didn't feel like dealing with it?

11:18 pm

but they have braile at the drive up ATMs...

11:18 pm

I use them in the dark sometimes

11:18 pm

got it thanks

11:18 pm

if you're reading braile...you shouldn't be driving

harp, have you taken your pills today? LOL

11:19 pm

gwen - yeah, but really, then can they see the screen & LOL mom makes an excellent point!!

i'll bet there is a reg somewhere that atms have to have braille, and it includes all of them. plus some people do walk to those drive-up atms

11:19 pm

sometimes i park by the braille method :D

11:20 pm

hahaha, yup, that's how I corner a road helen!

now ponder this: the same companies that make those atms make thos P.O.Sh. voting machines with no print-outs, and claim they can't make them iwht print-outs. Liars!

11:20 pm

wow. really gwen

11:21 pm

binghamton, Rod Serling's home town?

11:26 pm

11:26 pm

could i get help with my last two--the ar5's?

11:26 pm

tolars was not found in the dictionary but it was found in morewords. This is the WORST grid I've seen yet.

11:26 pm

hmm - not sure - she just moved from Santa Barbara

funny -- i am great at boggle but suck at scrabble. different brain functions involved

11:27 pm

ar5/14 = kinda like the scottish socks pattern

ar5 = ar + the part of a fish it breathes with (drop final leter)

11:27 pm

hmm. trying to think of a clue for the other ar5

11:27 pm

got it, one to go

ar5 = a + double consonant + I am, you are, she **

11:28 pm

wow! you're good Gwen!!!

11:28 pm

ice cream! yum . . .

11:29 pm

congrats harpjane

11:29 pm

yay Harp!

11:29 pm

you kids stay up late for the flip

11:29 pm

it's only 9:30 for me

11:30 pm

not an easy puzzle today

11:30 pm

ok, so I need a clue for to6/24 please

11:30 pm

cold stone creamery, yum...& good job harp

that's the plan

to6 = ringing the bell

another to6 = playing with a plaything (ugh!)

11:31 pm

ah, i didn't have the plaything one..thanks gwen :)

11:31 pm

thanks, gwen, even if it's not spelt right!

11:32 pm

anyone need clues?

it's the clue that counts, not the spelling!

11:32 pm

it still amazes me how it smacks me in the face when i get a clue

speling is overrated enneeway

11:32 pm

lol

justify some of the ridiculous ways we spell things. i dare ya!

11:34 pm

well, I looked up that to6 and it means something else besides. But your clue was great, Gwen!

11:35 pm

our spellings can be justified by their histories in most cases

11:35 pm

gwen...spelling is like reality tv....lol

11:35 pm

oh my goodness

jilli, history is no excuse for through, though, thought, bough, rough, need i go on?

11:35 pm

16 left and a brain fart

i love history but it should not be a prison

(brain fart is not in the grid!)

11:36 pm

history shouldn't be a prison..it's the future

11:36 pm

one little rule I was taught by my dad at age 5 is so useful and so unknown these days -- that a double consonant makes the vowel before it short -- if anyone knows waht that means nowadays

i mean the only reason we do not have proper spelling reform is the history argument, and it's really not a strong enuf reason, IMO

11:37 pm

what ;)

11:37 pm

I learned that too jilli - hmm does that make us old?

11:37 pm

i gotcha

english has quite a few spelling rules. not one is free of silly exceptions, tho

11:38 pm

but the history is what makes words so interesting

11:38 pm

it makes ME old!

11:38 pm

:)

11:39 pm

do you know and exception to that one, Gwen?

sure, but every other major language is "shepherded" so to spek to keep it rational. englishc spelling is stuck where it was some 400-500 years ago

we stopped wearing big hats with buckles but we can't stop spelling things in ridiculous ways?

11:40 pm

not if u have checked ur kids' txts lately

11:40 pm

lol

i'm not arguing for bad spelling but rational spelling LOL

11:40 pm

like the way GBS spelt "potato" which I can't remember just now - lol

11:40 pm

dan quayle

11:41 pm

i c, mini

GBS also advocated spelling reform. in fact, so did Benjamin Franklin. it is long overdue

11:41 pm

anyone read parts of anna nicole's diary? i felt bad for her because of her spelling

11:41 pm

that's why he spelt it that way, n'est-ce pas?

potatoe : dan quayle's contribution to stand-up humor

11:42 pm

mmm. i like to eat Spelt bread :)

11:42 pm

heavens no, mom01!

with speilt milk on it? LOL

11:42 pm

sadly, it's being auctioned off jill

11:43 pm

I heartily regret to say that my dear departed mother wrote tomatoe

adding a useless e on the end of a word is a time-honored tradition

11:43 pm

EVERYBODY spells something incorrect. Suppose to be that way. :)

11:43 pm

spelt is the brit way of spelling spelled. I'm bilingual - lol

now we add an e on the front: email, ebook, etc!

11:44 pm

In southern MD I worry more about how things are pronounced than the spelling - They warsh clothes here

11:44 pm

ah, lovley and necessary neologisms

11:44 pm

as long as we all speak goodly ;)

11:44 pm

LOL saph

11:45 pm

isn't etc. spelled that way though? i'm ignorant here..isn't it etcetera

in many countries (France, Germany) there is a panel empowered by the gubmint to set correct spelling for the national language. we should have something similar. they should go very slow with the reform, of course, but it needs to be done

11:45 pm

I have 4 left to find in 16 minutes and still supperless -- ttfn

the original spelling was &c

11:45 pm

oh wait...lol....another doh for Mom01

11:45 pm
