We have our fair share of red heads in our dynasty. GInger cousins Ronald & Donald, real names Jim & Bill. They hated each other intensely & were always getting each other into trouble with heinous wind ups.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Strange you should mention that,spitters-coz just today I was asked by a youngster [I'd estimate 11/12yo] why we always write WII rather than WW2 or W11. To HER,WII is pronounced 'wee' and is a home 'keep fit' centre [or some such thing] Ok...suddenly we were into the vagaries of the English language and I was being asked [as if I'D made it so,deliberately] how come you can slide,but in past tense you slid...yet you glide,but in past tense you glided,as 'glid' as a word doesn't exist....and THEN she asked why 'ought' and 'taught' sound the same yet have entirely different meanings....and,like the prat I am,I introduced her to 'taut',which she'd never heard of. Oh,yes-that REALLY helped.
