I use the net dictionaries -- sometimes. I'm too old to learn any new words so what's the use?

This khukuri does it for me...

If the sirupati is a slender nymph, this is a full bodied enchanteress.

Hee Hee. I have a collegiate on my desk that I used to use quite frequently until I found this one that also has a thesare, er thesuar, er whatever it's called...http://www.dictionary.com/
I have no idea of why I ordered a brand new Oxford English Dictionary from the QPBC with these online dictionaries that are so handy to use.
Sometimes though I have to look a word up because I have only a faint idea as to how to spekl it.

Yes, looking up a word to find out how to spell it can be quite frustrating, depending on how close your guess is. And then there are those strange times when the spelling looks wrong, and you look it up to find out that it's right afterall. But it STILL looks wrong.

Don't know why I bother though, my typing is so bad, that I may as well not spell things properly. The end result is the same.

Little M43, please come home
Who knows where you are?
Once I find you, what stories you will tell...
Cutting open that emergency stack of tax forms,
or taking the part of the auto-spindler machine?
If the postman ever lets you go,
M43-pleasure I finally will know...



Just lighting a candle in the window for my M43, sent on 4/8 and now MIA.

Remember, I once sent a khukuri to Waco that took 45 days by priority mail.

I would be chomping at the bit for sure if a khukuri was that long in getting to me!!!!

I get this weird phenomenon sometimes with very common English words like 'hand' and such, where for a couple of minutes they'll look foreign (specifically German) to me and I'll think I'm spelling the word in German. I don't know why.
