    Aren't strawberries - really all fruits - heavenly delicious when vine-ripened/tree-ripened?

    Did you come away with any new to you pieces?
    Would you be surprised to find out that, while I saw a couple of things I was interested in, I didn't actually buy anything?
    Also, why can't I find the post where you asked about my strawberries? 🤔
    Does it look like a have a few that are almost ready to be picked?

    Did you check the “what is the person above thinking” thread? Aren’t vine ripened much better than the apple sized ones I’m eating with breakfast this morning?

    Where is @frankwbrown when you need someone to show some pun appreciation??

    What about me? Did you forget my love of word play?

    Isn’t it bad that I can only recall like the first three letters of people’s usernames? Wouldn’t it be neat instead of it pulling them up alphabetically when you go to tag someone if it popped up users who frequent this thread instead?

    See how my less than stellar idea turned better one once @frankwbrown got a hold of it? Is there a thread to submit enhancement requests to MFP??

    @nossmf, no singing? Shall I save the recording for next year? Are belated wishes okay instead?

    Shall I quote Sally from Peanuts, when asked about gifts she wanted to receive from Santa, she replied instead her preference for "cash...how about 10's and 20's?"

    If there was, do you think the developers would implement it?

    Wouldn’t it be in everyone’s best interest to make things for convenient for us?

    Who is going to lie to me and say they missed me?

    Do you have us mixed up with the thread for liars? Don’t you know we’re all honestly inquisitive here?

    Why does inquisitive have an S, but Quiz has a Z?

    Is it for the same reason as for surprise, surmise, peruse... and reason?
  • nossmf
    nossmf Posts: 11,616 Member
    Do you mean reason, as in excuse, or reason, as in use logic?

    Aren't they pronounced the same? Do you pronounce the word 'reason' differently, depending on the definition you use?

    Might we reasonably assume that any such difference would be a subtle one, if not discernible only given the context?

    There is a thread of liars here? what does that say about the ones who do not go there?

    Why would we assume such a thing ?
    are there not two ways to pronounce data?

    Wouldn’t a twirl be great? 😂 Since I’m not psychic, hadn’t you better share the highlights, if you’re comfortable doing so?

    Given that this whole thread if full of questions, isn’t it quite the accomplishment that @JoeCavemann asked one that got me scratching my head trying to find the answer?

    Can I just throw it out there that word play is my favorite? Is anyone else as entertained as me with questions over words’ pronunciation and meaning?

    Has anybody else counted how many times the English language contains words which sound the same but have completely different meanings?

    Wouldn’t that be an incredibly exhausting task?

    If somebody took on that exhausting task, wouldn’t they likely post their findings so we wouldn’t have to wonder if someone ever did it?

    Can I contradict my previous comments about only drinking coffee on the weekends and confess to mid-week coffee intake? If you haven’t ever tried a coffee flight, what are you waiting for?!

    Different meaning and also different spelling: ie plane/plain, weight/wait, when/win, blue/blew...?
    Or same spelling as well: fly, light, sound...?
    Do we need subcategories?

    What is a coffee flight, and where do I get on board?
