For the current cold and rainy days: in one of the languages spoken in Western Europe - do you know words with three same characters in the middle?



English: miss-spelling (just read on this board)

Dutch: Churchilllaan (a lane called after Sir Winston)

Next?

You have to look to the younger generations for such words.



In common use: Whattteverrr!,....... Halllowww!



Commonly heard nowadays.







p.s. Who invented the word 'hallo'?



Clue: He (surprisingly) didn't invent the lightbulb.

RE msg 24, the awful nurse: You posted double (msg 17 & 18) in a vain effort to score more points. Doing so you tried to beat my friend Bill (an intellectual Admin!). Double posting is defffinattely against all known netiquete ( http://www.google.com/search?q=netiquete&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8). Your ban is over now, you can post again. Bill, please reinstall her rights. Thanks, Bill.

That's fine, Bill. You let me down, huh? Just because I'm a foreigner and the nurse is UK-ish, eh? I won't forget it.

No, Bill, I've had it. It's dissscrimination, that's what it isss. You play thisss word game with the nurssse - I won't bother again. This is another thread you have ssspoiled. How did you ever become an Admin? Or is this question enough to ban me instead of the nurse? (Rule number what?).
