Where is everybody?

I am here. 1800 miles away, brushing a cute kitty.

Here. Steaming over how we're going to deal with the kitchen once it's done or undone or whatever.

I have a question for the language experts.
Of what use is the "co" in "co-conspirator?"
Is it possible to be a conspirator without being a "co?"
Posted by: iamnot | August 01, 2007 at 05:21 PM
It's like "inflammable". There's no "out".

Gail ... it's time for another "words that bug you" post post.
Posted by: Diana | August 01, 2007 at 05:53 PM
However ... "co-" is "more-than-one" rat.
.... which calls for some really, really, large squirrel traps.

Ok then, whycome do I hear "pleaded" all the time when "pled" is shorter and sweeter?
(I'm in a "legal" mood...apparently)

(Commence Zsa Zsa Gabor Accent)
Pled. She is a short and stocky Eastern European word that does not shave under her arms. Pleaded is more svelt and delightful to see and some would argue to say, even.
It is arbitrary, no?
