You have lighted a fire under me. But I will be delighted by its warmth. Just now a mockingbird alighted on the telephone wire outside me window. All the birds here are flighted. Not an ostrich in sight, I plight my troth.
Dear wwh: I should learn to make my posts clearer. Because the weirdest part is that I admit to the use of delighted, alighted, flighted (but that's an adjective). But, for some strange reason, my mouth and brain resist just "lighted" when "lit" is "correct" in my mind! Why oh why?
