Words & Wordplay - August 2007

I like Autumn because of all the colours and that it is cooler. It reminds me when I started a new term at school with new books. I see it as a new time.

i dont fully understand this because i feel that when you write something, in essence you are "telling" the person even if someone considers that "showing"

like if I say "The man fell down." then what would that be considered? because youre showing it but you are also telling, you cant help but tell, its a story, i dont get that part of it

is telling like saying, "I felt badly." instead of "I ate rotten eggs" or something, then its just implied that you feel bad, but youre still telling someone you ate rotten eggs, you didnt show them, sorry im just having a hard time with this, any help is appreciated

Can somebody please professionally explain the meaning of "not the least?"

This passage is confusing: Not the leastof its virtues is that it destroys base people as certainly as it fortifies and dignifies noble people.

"Ring around the rosy,pocket full of posies, ashes to ashes, we all turn to dust." Someone gave me a morbid explanation, waiting to see what others have to say. Hope I got the quote right.

Okay so I have always spelled "weird" with the "e" before "i" and my friend at work just laughed at me and said you can't spell. Now I know the saying "i" before "e" except after "c" but even in school I spelt it that way and never got any beef about it. Why now am I being corrected and why do soooo many spell it the way I do and not the other way. I mean even trying to google it you see it both ways. Well I am stumped and want to know the TRUE way to spell it. I think it looks "weird" spelling it with the "i" before the "e"...lol HELP!

1. I'm sure you meant it as a compliment.
2. The truth doesn't have versions, okay?
3. I'm like the dumb girl that doesn't get it. I've never been the dumb girl before. It ain't great.
4. And I say this from the deepest part of my heart. What are you waiting for?
5. Yeah. It's my new thing. I've gotten abnormally brilliant at it.
6. Can I email it to ya when I figure it out?
7. Well I'm doing just fine, so you don't have to work that shift anymore!

BONUS PHRASE: I'm so glad they still work. I haven't used my lips for kissing in such a long time, more like for wearing lipstick... and whistling.
