Words & Wordplay - September 2007

this is a follow up to my previous question of "information we can't use being a waste of time and energy." Ok so if your arguments are correct then there is a time and place to use the word Xanthous. According to the college websters dictionary the only meaning for xanthous is that its another word for yellow or yellowish. give me one time other than a spelling bee when you legitimately used the word xanthous instead of yellow. personally I have never ever heard the word ever used in a sentense or used in a book. oh and it has to be from real life. no hypothetical situations count

I see it so much at the beginning of sentences, it seems to be used in place of "Well". As in "Well.. I'm going." or "Well.. I'm not sure".

What's the real story about Cinderella's life as a princess? Was it tragic like Princess Grace and Princess Diana? What happened to her Fairy Godmother? And, what about her evil stepmother and ugly stepsisters, what did they do after their dreams of snaggin the prince were dashed by Cinderella? I'm not buying "...they lived happily ever after."

Give me a new twist on the following familiar sayings. Invent a new way to say the same thing -or- give it a new ending:

1. The early bird gets the worm.

2. Measure twice. Cut once.

3. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

4. People who need people are the luckiest people in the world.

5. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

to start a class to teach some of these people in here how to spell and to use good grammar. both are so bad sometimes i cannot tell what the heck they are asking. makes you wonder if and where they went to school if indeed they did. we have the use of spell check available but i think that some of these people are either too lazy to use it or too stupid. i want to wring their necks when they are so far off in the spelling that it is impossible to decipher it. anyone else agree??
