therapist into two sections and read it separately?
I just did and noticed what it said. Bizarre words this English language has don't you think?

The word was split at the end of a sentence and I thought it looked weird. I wonder if anyone still goes to see these people if they've ever figured it out by themselves?

Oh Wally: Does any of your family
have his number in case you need to
call him in a hurry?
I'm afraid to leave you all alone all
winter in that place all by yourself.
You might just be a crumpled bit of
cloth come next Spring.

way to go wally, now I am going to be looking at every word I read or type wondering what it would separate into, like my mind isnt already cluttered enough ? And I dont dither away enough of my time ?
It is interesting, hmmmm got any others you have noticed? Your questions are usually quite thought provoking and entertaining. :-)

I'm a retired reading teacher. A class of grade 6 students came up with that in 1978. ... It was a shock during a syllabication lesson to have a whole class shout this out in unison.

I never thought of that. Yes, we do have some strange words in the English language.

I noticed it a few years ago. I seem to always look at words that way. I would name a few more, but my mind is blank now. It's past my bedtime. I don't know why I am still sitting here.

I 'm most assuredly not therapist material. But I'm not sure what comes from the Yahoo laboratory -- is it the first part or the latter ?

Yes, English is a strange and complex language.

Yes, Wally, that is strange. My friend who is a probation officer has always said don't assume anything, because it makes *** u me.
