  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  Cachinnate . . .

  has been whooping it up in English since the 19th century.

  The word derives from the Latin verb cachinnare, meaning "to laugh loudly," and "cachinnare" was probably coined in imitation of a loud laugh. As such, "cachinnare" is much like the Old English "ceahhetan," the Old High German kachazzen, and the Greek kachazein - all words of imitative origin that essentially meant "to laugh loudly."

  Our word cackle has a different ancestor than any of these words (the Middle English "cakelen"), but this word, too, is believed to have been modeled after the sound of laughter.

  It's good to have you here, Syl, on a site where we cite sources that are a sight for sore eyes.

  Yes, Sylvia, regarding a well-constructed but frivolous play, the term coined by Shaw, in reproach of V. Sardou, French playwright.

  Good point, LUHE:

  I lost a friend named Ruth, hence I am ruth-less.

  THANKS!

  Edited to add: Yes, a contrived tale, but I don't know if all the sardoodledoms are necessarily of a frivolous nature. It's a spelling bee word on YouTube.

  Thanks, Sylvia, for the acknowledgement of the verse I sent you.

  The thread you obviously read it on turned up missing when I went searching for it earlier. Somehow, resurrected threads fall immediately back into the grave within a very short time of reposting on them. I had to do a search to find it.

  Much ado, much ado . . .

  Please, never feel unworthy.

  Later, Dear.

  For you, Dear snowbird:

  I FEEL THE SUN'S HEAT UPON MY SKIN, yet, too, the damp caress of a wafting fog only now come in from the sea.

  It matters not that eyes have long been dimmed to the marvels, the beauties of Nature, while I see her through memories recalled, vibrant in a rainbow of color . . .

  Hey, Syl!

  What about NebuchadRezzar?

  I seem to remember that spelling -- alternate rendering or another man?

  THANKS!

  JW's And Their Education Level

  by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu in

  i was thinking about this.... in my congregation, i was literally the only one with universitary education, out of a cong from around 110 people.... and we're very close to a very big university, which makes it even weirder.. on the other hand... sooo many here with their own business, mostly small cleaning businesses.

  cleaning windows, or cleaning somewhere else... painters.... all have jobs that do not require any education level, cos they never had a decent education.. how is the composition of the jw people/congs that you know about?.

  how many painters... cleaners... compared to people with jobs that require higher education?.
