Saith Lawrence, ive had a great weekend. i was late to see someone on saturday but they were great about it, so understanding. and then there was the workshop which was really great. all those people are great. the trouble is, the workshop's always so great that you want it to continue, so you go for a drink - and there's a great pub round the corner - and by mid evening the transport's not so great. but this time it was and i got back early. so that was great. on the way home i bought some food to last me for a few days. i got some reduced stuff which was great for the bank account. and it fact it tasted great too i hope youre all having a great time --------------------------- Ah, the nonsense-syllableing of the word "great." I have seen this done only once before, Jonathan Swift in "Jonathan Wild," everything is GRRRRRREAT! like this moronic highwayman was Tony The Tiger. GREAT becomes a word without a meaning or substance. I suppose you could extend that to the word often mistaken for it, Good. This was a lesson drummed into the collective mind of an honors class by a marvelous teacher trying to differentiate Great from Good. "How can you be great but not good? God forgive me, Hitler and Stalin were GREAT! But good?..." Discuss. Ken (doing this from the listserv, pretty dicey)
