God/Creation, whatever your beliefs, had provided us with a nice cover of permanent fur, I would not have made this stupid remark. But as it is, are you sure it takes only two steps? How do you undo a U and add an E and an extra I in two steps only?

It's not Scrabble we're playing!) I believe the only possible word is the most obvious one, namely adding S to form the plural. You can't make any others by adding, changing or deleting any letters I think? GROWNUPS Edited by The Pook (02/12/09 04:54 PM) Top Page 55 of 120 < 1 2 ... 53 54 55 56 57 ... 119 120 > Go to page...
