    Aren't male hornets (bees, wasps, etc.) called drones? While I haven't read anything about male hornets being "rare", didn't I just read this?

    Do you want the long list of "wrongs" listed alphabetically, numerically, or logically?

    Why don't you surprise me? (Wasn't that prompted by the double posting of my last question?)

    @cmsienk, are you seeing double? 😂

    How do you list something logically, @nossmf ?
  • nossmf
    nossmf Posts: 11,463 Member
    Isn't it easier to describe logically as the opposite of illogically?

    Doesn't that sound logical?

    What if all definitions in the dictionary were like that?

    In this day of Google, who even references a dictionary anymore?

    How do you think m they came up with the name Google?

    Didn't a couple math nerds -- familiar with what "a googol" is -- think that would make a great name for their search engine? However, aren't the number of search results usually shy of a googol?

    And speaking of how to order a list of things, does anyone have (or want) a copy of this dictionary?

    What is a collocate??
  • frankwbrown
    frankwbrown Posts: 12,998 Member
    Wouldn't that be where certain words are found in close proximity to one another in text?

    how have I managed to live 6 decades without knowing that?? :D
  • frankwbrown
    frankwbrown Posts: 12,998 Member
    Or, maybe you forgot you knew it?
    Don't less frequently used words eventually get relegated to the mental equivalent of an offsite storage locker? 😂

    nossmf Posts: 11,463 Member
    Why do you think I continue to use exotic language in my posts? Isn't it so I don't forget the words and they remain mentally available on those occasions where they are most apropos?

    Isn't it best to use common words except under exigent circumstances?

    is it also best to be succinct and to the point without waffling on and using uneccesary wordage which just clogs the sentence and without diverting into irelevant tangents such as what I had for breakfast, which by the way was yoghurt and fruit,varies depending on what is in season and available in my area for a reasonable cost, I do have to watch my budget after all and groceries are not getting any cheaper, as you are no doubt aware as this surely affects you too and that breakfast is what I often have on weekends, not so much on workdays and what was the topic again?

    Were you about to ask me if I enjoyed the Dutch baby pancake I had for breakfast? Or were you wondering what I'll do with the bacon I baked in the 400℉ oven concurrently with the Dutch baby pancake? Assuming you were, shall I share that I'm thinking about crispy bacon bits in a buttermilk pancake with butter and pure maple syrup? 😋

    Can you believe my wife and daughter prefer CHEWY bacon over CRISPY? What kind of monsters do I live with?

    What's that saying, "there's no accounting for taste"? 😂

    Did you consider that an exigent circumstance, @AdahPotatah2024 , or were you just showing off? 😜

    Will I ever understand the allure of —gasp— chewy bacon? Would you believe someone I know likes his so chewy that the rest of the rest of us refer to it as “bacon sushi”? 😬

    Having not read that dictionary, would it be reasonable for me to surmise that the word "frequently", though used frequently, is not one of the most frequently used words?

    Is anyone else here going to a township board meeting tonight?
