RE: Bug ID help needed!
looks like some sort of a tick. Perhaps a variety of dog tick. Need an entomologist to id it. Interesting to see what you find out.

A fire recently destroyed a barn. One newscaster said the barn 'burned up' another said it 'burned down'

RE: Words That Melt My Brain
"huge gigantic" & "small little". I've heard these quite a bit. Or is that 'quiet' a bit?
Interesting notes...keep them coming...'grate' entertainment and it's free!
Thank you

RE: Words That Melt My Brain
hanged or hung? Was he hanged or hung?
A picture is hung, but a murderer is hanged.
These past participles can be tricky, especially for me as I use a lot of the UK ones. I say "I learnt it in school" rather than "I learned it in school" which to my ears still sounds wrong, even after almost 40 years on this side of the pond! ( To me it sounds the same as "I sleeped in my new bed last night.")
These 'Strong Verbs', that form the past with a 'T' and or a change in the word rather than the 'Weak' ones that just add an 'ed' are an older form, learnt-learned, leant- leaned, crept- creeped etc and yet in some words I use the 'newer version' like 'dived' while N. Americans still use the old form 'dove'
Fascinating stuff, this English Language and how it is spoke!
or is that 'spoken?'

RE: Vanity plates
Our Dodge 3500 is "getnby" . I wanted "barely" for the car so we could park them side by side. PA wouldn't allow "barely"
