More and more intrigued that nobody so far has made the connection between "out of whack" and "whacky", I begin to suspect this is deliberate, to conceal the whackiness of the debate.I suspect that no from the States has made that connection, because here we spell that word wacky. So for me to have
made that connection, I would have been wackified (hi, Tsuwm).
But, speaking of across-the-pond differences, that reminds me of whine and whinge. I think they have essentially the
same meaning, but very different pronunciations.
