flocks' or 'idiots prevail in the masses' what would be an alternative
for all of these phrases apart from th ...

What's the best way to improve my vocabulary?
Tue, 6 May 2008 04:51:32 -0700 (PDT)

words in a short time and have them come to mind automatically at my
disposal whenever I need them? I mean, so t ...

What's the word I'm thinking of?
Tue, 6 May 2008 04:22:41 -0700 (PDT)

'personification', i.e. giving a animal or thing human traits. I think
it ends with 'morphosis'. Could anyone tell me what that word is? It's
on the tip of my tongue but I can't quite bring it out of my head.
Thanks" ...

What does it mean when people say 'I'll give you the benefit of the
doubt'? I've heard it so many times and have a slight hint or gist of

Just come from another group where it was suggested that Microsoft
invented the term 'word wheel', 'word-wheel' or wordwheel' to
describe an on-screen database search interface as described at
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/word-wheeling .
Does anyone know when and where the term first appeared?

103. The example of Alexander's chastity has not made so many continent as
that of his drunkenness has made intemperate. It is not shameful not to be
as virtuous as he, and it seems excusable to be no more vicious. We do not
