F as in cough, I as in women, SH as in chivalry?

In a word, yes, and bonus points for varying two of the phonetic equivalents that I'd come up with: touGH (f), wOmen (i) and CHampaign (sh)!

Of course. I stand in substantial agreement with you and Mr. Dean. :eusa_clap

The poet once said, "I can has cheezburger..."

But he might have said, "I can has fedora's..." as well.

English is a great language.

During my formal schooling years, I was taught in the ways of English, Pig Latin, and Profanity.

English was a "Must".

Pig Latin, a minor, a very minor.

Profanity, the "Forbidden Fruit".


So what we now have here is:

Nor Hell hath a fury like a pig scorned.

Hi 30

We are reported to get heavy winds and maybe 10-12 inches of snow during the weekend and my fireplace/chimney is not up to par.
So I am breaking out the shovels and the electric blankets.
Best regards and Happy and Healthy New Year.

Our "first 'fall" was just a day ago - there is now a foot of it on my roof.
(Yes, a Foot. I'm an Inches/Foot/Yard type of guy; no "canadian metric" for me.)

Much luck to you & yours all the way around.


Warm regards,

circumference, or perimeter?

Okay, here is another ponderable, for no real advantage or benefit to our hatted lives...

The inside measure of our lids is often referred to as the "circumference." I was previously under the impression that a circumference is the perimeter specific to a circle, not an oval, or ellipse, as we all know hat shapes to usually be. The more accurate definitive term for that oval dimension is perimeter, right? Definitions do evolve, but did anyone else have this old school impression?

I need to haul out the ol' Funk & Wagnall.:eusa_doh:

 

[gtdean48]

Circumference is also the external surface of an object = so you are measuring the surface of the sweatband since the other side is against the felt.

 

[Lt.Tom]

hatsRme I think maybe technically you're correct. While we're pondering technicalities, is it improper then, to call it a fedora's liner, or a fedora's brim? I'm asking without a trace of sarcasm, as grammer was not really my best subject.

 

[randooch]

. . as grammer was not really my best subject.

Nor orthography, I surmise.

 

[hatophile]

Not to mention spelling, eh?

Whooo good catch. And I used to be a decint spellar.

 

[Lt.Tom]

Obviously not. And isn't much more entertaining to make fun of someone, rather than dignify their question with an answer?

Welcome to the spelling and grammar lounge! Actually, these things are often pet peeves of mine as well, but I must admit as I get familiar with this new "kindle fire" (from which I am NOT typing this reply) I have encountered numerous instances already where the kindle thinks it's smarter than me, and changes a word point blank without any notice, just as soon as I hit the virtual space bar. Oh, well...

"numerous instances already where the kindle thinks it's smarter than me, and changes . . ."

What is wrong with the above sentence & why?
Try this:

See? It's more better already!

I was not making fun of anyone. Such is the nature of lightweight banter. I thought my use of the words "orthography" and "surmise" were giveaways, but senses of humor aren't always perceived clearly. So let me flog a lifeless horse: no offense intended.

We gotcha, Randall! All of us who have been paying attention to your 4000-plus posts know. Maybe if we rename this thread to "Useless and fun banter," or "Tongue in cheek chic," or "We're really a gentile bunch," or something along those lines the underlying spirit would be a little more clear.

The bottom line is that good-natured banter is alive and well on the Lounge, and you do it well!

HAPPY New Year to ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More banter means less seriosity and dignitude.
