Words & Wordplay - June 2007

1. Up is down? Well, that's just maddenly unhelpful.
2. I was adorable once. Young and full of hope. Now, look at me. I'm a short, fat, insecure, middle aged thing!
3. You get what you settle for.
4, Your life, on the other hand, is like this box of ACTIVE GRENADES!
5. A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark.
6. 'Neat.' What are you, 12 years old?

Is it a type of shorthand or poor education? I'm not being clever or nasty, just curious.

I am not a native speaker and I am a little embarassed to talk to native speakers. And I think they think that I am a mean person. How do I get over that barrier. I am afraid to speak to them wholeheartedly not to make any grammatical mistakes. And sometimes I try to make my sentences as short as possible so they dont notice my accent. Is this just me?

I hear people all the time say- "I could care less about that," or "Well I really could care less."
Isn't the right way of saying it: "I COULD NOT care less?"
By saying you could care less, you are saying that you do actually care a bit. Saying I couldn't care less means there is no possible way of NOT caring about whatever it is as much as you are now. I just think that makes more sense. Tell me what you think.

I have done pairs and word bingo, but as anyone that works in the teaching profession knows these words can be obscure, providing little or no links, words with silent letter sounds at the begining such as wren,wrist and wrong aren't to bad but the silent c letters that appear in the middle of the words are more difficult to link together.

Any ideas for different word games for primary age, key stage 2, 7-11 years, would be helpful please.

The following is the sentence I want to say but I'm not sure if I can use two semi-colons or if i should put it in quotes. Thank you all so much for your input, i really appreciate it!


As my dad likes to say to me; you mean more than the world to me; this is true from all of us and your spirit is within each one of us continuing your legacy.


(by the way this is a good-bye letter/ obituary. and i think it might sound funny from using "us" so many times, but it's understandable, can anyone offer any alternatives?)
thanks again!
