 Do you know what, BladeD? I got so absorbed with illustrating that word that all of sudden the picture overshadowed the correctness. I have corrected it now. Without any illustration. I hated to see that little lasso guy go  I ask you kindly to forgive me. Even as I think I'm catching on fairly well, I am afraid that you have to get yourself a dozen of them red pencils. One of many aspects I enjoy, find educating and so on is the ability of English - and perhaps it is more of an American invention - to take a verb and put '-er' in the end of it, and all of a sudden it's an occupation - a trade. Smart! Also, I have noticed that far more words than I ever thought have their origin in Dutch don't tell adriverhoef I thought more came from Danish than is the case. Do you realize I have a good deal of work doing this: Check what your word means if it a little strange - it often is  and after an awful lot of fiddling steps, I decide on a word, and I check that in order to be sure that it really is a proper English word and that it isn't profane - and I find it so funny. Magnetically funny. What do you get out of it, BladeD?  |

What do you get out of it, BladeD? Haven't you figured it out as to what I try to do?  |

Yes, your short term teasing as far as the 4 letter one goes.
But we have two more games. I don't see any similar patterns there. And we played long before that 4 letter thing. No, otherwise I haven't figured it out, and I'm curious - and probably stupid. |

A lot. I cannot figure it out. |

Why make someone's mood swings swing the wrong way?

Why make someone's mood swings swing the wrong way? You should be able to slow down without changing your mood!  |

No. Not in this case, BladeD.
Besides I cannot see how slowing down should help me getting an answer to my fairly simple question. |
