Me too! I decided to get completely smashed after I saw the devastating my new wireless internet has on my internet connection.

You get completely smashed for no reason anyway.

I thought my internet was down, but it turns out Google is down!
Google? Down?! Yes!

Yeah it was just a thought Not everything can be directly related to the surroundings but in some cases it does make sense !

'Seems to make sense', yes ;p

It's not like we can ever actually know
Until recently, the 'science' of etymology was all about guessing as well

Alot of things can be assumed to be right but yeah it's all guess work at the end of the day

This thought came from a voice coach I had once, who was trying to help us achieve the South American accent ^^

Their introduction to accents was basically about things that have already been mentioned, cultural aspects, surroundings and so on. It can be applied to most accents just not all

Merriam-Webster's word of the day, (I get them in my emal ):

palaver • \puh-LAV-er\ • noun
1 a : a long parley usually between persons of different cultures or levels of sophistication b : conference, discussion
2 *a : idle talk b : misleading or beguiling speech

Example sentence:
"Ask folks involved why they opted to make [the movie], and you're not going to get a lot of palaver about high art and noble intentions." (Joshua Rich, Entertainment Weekly, May 19, 2006)

Hmm..I should subscribe to that interesting!

Also, I got an Etymological Dictionary today \o.
It's in Dutch, but I plan on getting an English one as well eventually

It's a present for my graduation so I still have money left for more trivial things (like beer and other such 'important' students' expenditure).

of course heh.

There are a lot of spelling games and such too.

Kinetic was a bit of a letdown this morning wasn't it?

For all of you who have a personalised Google page, there is a word of the day extra :

Toady's is "languor: lack of energy or vitality."

Very fitting word for me today ^^

Try Tai Chi \o.
