Larry, Just one question, have you ever milked a cow?

Like To, Too and | Two. They all sound the same thing, even if they are spelled rong. It's | one of them "onym" words, of some sort. (An't-onym or sin-onym.) | | The real bad words are like, wind and wind. See, these are spelled the | same, but they sound different. (You can't see the wind blow, but you can | wind up a garden hose. Or, if you keep flying coupes into strong cross wind | you're going to wind up getting hurt). I think these are called Homo-nym. | Words like these started in San Francisco, they can go both ways. | | The words that will get you into trouble are Sin-onyms. These are kind of | double talk words, saying the same thing two different ways. Washington | folks use these a lot - "I didn't raise your taxes" or "I increase the | Government's revenues". Either way they said you were screwed. These are | Sin-onyms, basically lies. (So Sin-onym is a sinonym for lie). | | The other type is An't-onym. It mean opposite. This word is from the rural | areas of the country. They are straight forward on making a point. If it | an't black, it's white. If you an't right, then you are wrong. Thus the | name "An't"-onym. | | Now, since I've said something about the folks in San Francisco and | Washington there should be plenty of "Jack Bashing" going on in the list for | a while. We may have something to talk about. | | Hope you are well and not missing you coupe to bad. Sure it hurt for the | first few weaks (nother one of those onym words). | | Jack | | | | ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiLm.aVzvvT Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
