Words...

A lot of us have homes we spend some time in. Discussions can be about any topic that may be of interest that you can think of... renovations, purchases, expenses, etc, etc

Words...

Post by Greynomad »

Spotted this in a local bookshop, and just had to buy it! The title was inspired by Tony Abbott's mangling of a common saying... :P (I think he meant "repository".) :roll:
It's a lot more fun & more readable than the "bible" of journos, Fowler's Modern English Usage.

I think 'pedantry' (peds, pedals, feet, walking, mobile) should be the opposite of 'sedentary' ( immobile,sitting, seated)

That would be much more better :D

Was cogitating while on the ride-on this morning...
If you can’t PREvent something going wrong, but can fix it afterwards, do you POSTvent it? 😝
And if someone says to you, “I told you so!” are they a POSTcursor to the event?
What if you miss an appointment and re-book it, is that POSTarranged?
😄😃 Ah, I got a million of ‘em, folks... don’t stop me now!
