Let's Play and Learn

Information

The heroes of this group are letters - letters that cooperate to produce words and of course meaningful ones. This humble work of letters necessitates the creation of dictionaries, and makes us dictionary-bound to understand the meaning of words.

How the Game Started

Once upon a time Mr P was annoyed and was blaming his loneliness and uselessness. To overcome this he called his friend Miss L to ask about her news and fix a date to meet. Next day, they met At the coffee shop and started remembring their old days and how they missed their two friends Mr A and Mrs Y,and how good friends and companions they were. Mr P and Mrs L decided to call Mr A and Mrs Y to join and form their group and start an activity: to PLAY.
Being four letters was not enough for them to vary their game, apply rules and devolop it. Voluntarily, they invite the other letters to join. The P L A Y team and their mates succeeded in creating a huge number of words and call it Vocabulary which was the material of the game.
With all rights reserved, in our turn we are going to adopt the four letters game as follows:
- Choose a word from vocabulary.
- "Play" with the chosen word in deffirent ways to derive the maximum of words from it.
- Identify which new words you find.
- Provide an explanation to these words.
- Make senteces with these new words.
- Finally, choose a word for the next player, and conclude with the expression ' Can you find more?' .i.e. the next player has to read your work and find any other words.
I wish I am clear and to the point.
With the best of luck.
Play and learn.

Thanks for the invitation.you have a very interesting group here. Have a nice time.

Comment by Hanane on July 31, 2009 at 10:17am: Thank you for joining Teacher Bill.
I have always considered the word GEE as an expression associated with disapproval, that is when you taste something and don't like it.
Besides, Darn means the act of repairing a hole in piece of cloth. Now it is a new word for Damn.
Thank you

Comment by Bill the English teacher on July 31, 2009 at 12:10am: Gee is an expression that we use when we think someone or something is ridiculous. Gee, I can't believe how hard that test was. Gee, when are you going to grow up and act your age. Gee, I have too much to do as a mother.

This is an interesting word because its origin was a religious one. It originally was the name "Jesus Christ". Christians would call this name for help in bad situations. As time went by it became more offensive and not respectful. So to substitute for this offensive expression people would say something similar, 'gee whiz' which sounds like Jesus. It became shorted to gee.
In English we often soften expressions to be less offensive. This is called a euphemism. There are other words in English that are 'euphemisms:
Hell = heck What the heck are you doing?
Damn = darn Get that darn dog out of my yard.

We don't consider the euphemisms as offensive.

I won't go into the more offensive ones.
