No, Luke, we don't like ads here. Sorry to be a little late getting here.* This week I have had two good friends go into the hospital and a sick relative, plus today was Derby Day (MAN what a race!!! Mine That Bird came out of NOWHERE! Calvin Borel is just a supertalented jockey; his horse won the Kentucky Oaks yesterday, too--that's the Derby equivalent for fillies.)
*Anyone and everyone, please feel free to send me a PM if there's something you want to direct my attention to. Thank you. Hey! Not a problem! Nor is it a criticism, just a comment. So sorry about your friends. (Was actually enjoying the word SPUM)

Thanks for the "heads up": we've been spummed.
No, no, no! You don't combine the -ed ending of the weak verbs with the ablaut series of the strong verbs. It's spim, spam, have spum. WOW, do I stand corrected. Thought you were joking until I read the Wiki. Thanks again for the heads' up.

Little problem: "With the death of Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658), the English had decided they had had enough of "lord protectors of the commonwealth," and asked for their king back. Charles II returned to England in 1660. The royal physician reported that alpha, always slightly variable, shone especially bright on Charles' return. The new king carried on in the high diplomatic traditions of his father, Charles I (executed at the behest of Cromwell). He had Cromwell disinterred, hanged, and beheaded in 1661. " I really would like to know the thruth of it now. Is it hang hing hung or is it hang hung hanged?

Is it hang hing hung or is it hang hung hanged? Others will tell you that there are two verbs to hang in English: one that takes human dependents (no pun intended), i.e., hang, hanged, and the other which takes non-human ones (e.g., picture), i.e., hang, hung. Henge (as in Stonehenge) and hinge are related (cf. what the wonderful MWDEU has to say at link).
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

It's wise to take anything Faldage says with a grain of salt.

Baby gear is one thing. My first vehicle was a 1950 Ford F-1 pickup with a granny gear.

And we could do camping gear, which I imagine would include
a bear-gun for some parts of this country, elephant gun in
others.
