It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words. What if a word itself
is a picture? That's the idea behind what I call WordPix--words presented
so that they do their own show-and-tell. With each word this week, I'll
give you the URL of an image that shows its WordPix. Without further ado,
let's see some words and let them talk about themselves. Instead of giving
citations from newspapers, magazines, and books, this week I'll write usage
examples myself.

Oh, goody!

Oh, cool, you-all---I actually fixed something! I first edited this post, to try and make a wordpic, and of course couldn't do it, so I erased it. But to my horror, when I put the post back, there was about twelve inches of
blank space! So I officially deleted the post, which left that as the subject title (post deleted by Jackie). I hate seeing that, so I hit Edit again, put my original post back in, then changed "post deleted..." back to the above, and...voilą! A nice, small box again!

Especially for you, m'dear--you have taught me a lot about
being economical.

If this term is restricted to the study of bird eggs, what is the term for the study of eggs in general? Or of, say, lizard eggs?

a more complete definition is: the study of eggs, especially birds' eggs.

say, ASp... which of these bifurcated egg threads do you suppose will generate more traffic?

Tsuwm-- there are perfectly valid reasons for seperating eggs!

Let's not make this board a tough roe to hoe!

Thanks for the better definition, tsuwm. Knew I could count on you.

As to which will generate more traffic: I know it's a losing battle, but I gotta do it. Call me Dr. Rieux
