Don't you have a dictionary close by when you read, too? This was a great meme - fun to learn some of these things about you. I think I'll do this one, too. Isn't it going to be hilarious when this gets all around the internet.
ReplyDeleteYeah I keep a dictionary close by also. I just don't open it as frequently. Most of the time I can figure out what a word means by its context.
ReplyDeleteFrog, you're excused since I only see you about once a year. As for the rest of you . . . . Well, I guess I'm just an enigma.
