yeahbut, my post did indeed clear the marker for me without doing that anyway! So it must be something to do with not resetting a cookie...?

I think the cookies are crackers, sometimes.

Anna: Well, you could give me some support, or you could disagree; or you could contribute a helpful idea; eg, discuss the philosophy behind the Weekly Theme; or suggest a definition for this heading, listing a few typical examples; etc etc etc




Oh, OK. "Weekly Themes" used to have a new forum each week, back when subscribership was small. Wordsmith has left the individual ones up from a long time ago, and sometimes they still are used. He's a busy guy; this is not his first priority. You asked: I think things are pretty good the way they are, so kvit your kvetching.

But getting back to to words and language....

RE: My thrust to improve things is often misinterpreted as criticism by those so inclined

Oh most definately! how can you think to improve perfection?

is AWAD perfect? yes, like a truly loved spouse is perfect.

Yes, it has what could be considered (by unknowing people) annoying attributes, but we have come to see them for what they are, part of a total package that is loved as it is!

We love AWAD, just the way it is. (and stick around, we'll come to love you too, the same way!)

Helen: I wouldn't say "perfection," but AWAD is easier to use than some sites of this sort. For instance, I find Phrase Finder to be extraordinarily difficult

Edited to apologize for the alliteration
