Friday Fun

“Thanks for the offshoot of the thread title Lyra....... errrrrrrr... Lycra!!

Speaking of that, HOW WELL DO YOU SPELL??? Here's a test with championship words from past spelling bees.

I only missed the last one. @&#$@&#$@#

Tough words from national spelling bee”

“6 out of 10.. not bad for a dyslexic!”

“9/10...I missed sacrilegious...”

“bit......DUH!!! DOH!!! Tell everyone how to spell it then!!! lol”

“7 out of 10. What was w/ all the skin disorder words? Yeck!”

“I got 8 out of 10. And I got sacri.... wrong even after Bit posted it, duh.”

“6 out of 10. I guess it helps if you've got bad skin.”

“I got 10 out of 10, but I have to admit I made a semi-educated guess on the last one.”

“One more reason to ban Geobeet!”

“8 out of 10. I made the the same mistake as LyndyS.”

“How are they supposed to know I posted the right spelling?”

“10 of 10

Dang, now I have no excuse for poor spelling.”

“I was 8/10, missing sacrilegious and eczema.”

“Ony iff u ooze werds lak "exseema" ind "sekereelicious" in everdey tawk”

“you WOULD be welcome, lizs, if not for that misspelling, LOL!

10 of 10, baybee! i remember thinking the spelling of "sacrilegious" was weird when i learned it, and that the "i" and the "e" are the opposite of where i would think they should go.

however, if this were a spelling bee, i'm relatively certain that i wouldn't have gotten them all. it's only because they "look right" written down that i knew.”

“I done perty good. I got all eleventy rite cuz I used some synM&Ms (them are werds that say the same theeng but are rote differnt).”

“You go sarabelle!”

“10 out of 10 but I think it is easier looking at the word than what those kids go through; just hearing the word and then having to spell it.”

“I agree with that.”

“What's to do the rest of the day?”

“Check my new thread on working terminology!! heheeheheh

I'm on a roll today!!”

“hey, one of my email words of the day today was "sacrilegious"! FYI, this is why it's spelled the way it is:

"sacrilegious (sak-ri-LIZ-uhs) adjective

Violating what is considered sacred.

[From Middle English, from Old French, from Latin sacrilegium, from
sacrilegus (one who steals sacred thing), from scar, from sacer (sacred) +
-legere (to gather, steal).]

The word has no etymological connection to "religious" though its
pronunciation has altered due to its similarity with the latter. It
comes from the same Indo-European root (sak- : to sanctify) as the
words saint, consecrate, and sacred."

--from Wordsmith”

“Well, yes but lyra, if it comes from the word "sacred" then why isn't it spelled sacre....not sacri.... That is what messed me up on that test. The English language...pfftttt! No precision!”

“English is England's revenge on the world for being invaded so many times.”

“oh yeah, you're right, Lyndy! well, too much precision would get mighty boring...
;-)”

“That's what you get for having Friday fun on a Monday!”

“Anyone got something for Friday Fun this week? I'm dying here at work...”

“Yeah, I think it's about time for another work break myself!”

“Go read the joke thread.”

“Here. This should keep you busy for a while. It's funny enough to make work go fast:

Link”

“My shoe is untied, but I am going to wait until lunch is over and tie it on company time.

Is that wrong?”

“Ill be collecting West Nile Mosquitos here in Georgia tonight...”

“What sexual position are you?

Take the quiz”

“I've had this post up for over an hour and nobody's taken the test? What a bunch of stiffs. Where's Lyra? My results:

Spooning”

“I'm afraid to take that one at work...lol”

“I thought it would be funny to take this Joe Cool, but the answer I got is far to obscene.”

“I'm not scared. I am 69.”

“I'll have to take it when I get home...just hope the wife doesn't catch me, lol...”

“I'm still scared Arky. I can sense that if I post it I will be flamed for eternity.”

“Ah come on Newgirl. It's only a silly test. All your friends are doing it. I promise once you try it you will like it.”

“Newgirl, is it worse than the word "Mounted"...lol”

“Cartwheel?!?!

For the love of...!”

“Flamed? Doubt that. Jeered maybe...lol...”

“Standing up.”

“Spooning.”

“"Ah come on (insert girls name). All your friends are doing it. I promise once you try it you will like it."
