Glad to see you made it, saparris. I know y'all are glad too to have your coffee here. I've had a very warm welcome so far. Just need a place to find us daily, and I am not yet terribly acquainted with a place to replace our former "forum" of daily listings. If you know: please let me know...

Gosh it's nice to get a reply. Thanks for the welcome. I really miss the other site, it was such a great place to have morning coffee. Now that I am here, I sure am hoping this site will be as "warm". Andrew the Board God: I like this. On the other site we called the lady in charge our 'GO...

And to that I will add "it's" when it is a verb. As a teacher I subtracted points when a student used "its" as a verb without the apostrophe. I don't believe we should be 'REDUCING EVERYTHING TO THE LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR" and if I am guilty of that by desiring loss of dia...

Seen on a T shirt back:
"Stand Back! Fart being prepared".

I am not much for writing in dialects either. With all the technology available, dialects should be disappearing - TV, radio, etc. : we can hear each other and speak to each other. This should ultimately eliminate the Boston "drawl", southern stuff, midwestern whatever. I will continue to ...

Hi Beck123
Finally found you. Have been attempting to navigate
this site all day. Have found some interesting
discussions. Will go to your reference above and
find you there. I like this site so far.

[quote="Slava"]Oddly enough, it is well discussed in this week's New Yorker magazine's fiction piece. http://www.newyorker.com/fiction/features/2010/01/25/100125fi_fiction_wilson Ants communicate via pheromones.[/quote] How totally interesting. I have my copy of New Yorker sitting here on ...

Thanks so much for your reply. I did not have that page,
and have now bookmarked it. I shall be signing up
for the word of the day immediately.

I am interested. Hear it used all the time, but
understanding it is something else.

Being new to the site, I certainly hope not.

of sorts, and trying not to be too much of a pest or to offend anyone. This word, plenipotentiary, was the word of the day on another "word of the day" site I subscribe to, earlier this week. Did it ultimately come from this site? Dumb question, maybe, but I am trying to navigate this site...

And trying to navigate around the site, and this seems to be the only way I can do it. Sorry if it offends anyone. Is this the place to fine a 'word of the day'? Question: is there a word of day mailed us? do we simply come to this thread to find it? is there only one a day, unless someone posts ano...

I was the 11,260th poster on another word site which just died, they say, because of spam posting. I don't see any here. I am looking for a site to replace the other and this looks like a terrific place. I joined in October but never posted until now, but have been on the site numerous times, lookin...

Have been a member for awhile: first post. Just to try
out the 'system' and see how this works. Hope to be
around for awhile.
