They both cover a lot of territory? That is if you are referring to the game of monopoly.
Longest English words you can type with just the left hand, and the right, respectively!
I knew the first one...but not the second one. Excellent!
Sandy, I like that one!
The Teacher, of course, is right, or mostly right.
Stewardesses is the longest word you can type with just the left hand. Monopoly is I guess the most commone long word for the right, but the article also mentions johnny-jump-up and polyphony.
Very cool! Those go along with my favorite - bookkeeping, which has 3 sets of 2 letters together.
Jen, thanks for the well-wishes on my blog. I am recuperating nicely, but have been very sleepy, so I am not getting much TV watching done. I slept most of the morning, and am getting tired again. TTFN!! Erin
do you know what a johnny-jump-up is?
I do !! I do !!!!
Well, I think Ol' Granny Tucker used to talk about them, so I'm going to go with: flowers. I'm kinda thinking blue, but don't quote me on that.
So Scott's the expert on that. Anyone want to explain polyphony? (I just looked it up real quick to make sure it's not dirty, and it's not...)
Counterpoint; Gregorian chant, Ambrosian chant; musica ficta, false music
Sorry, but when the dictionary is at work, one resorts to the thesaurus. You'd think that at my age I'd be allowed the luxury of a dictionary both places - wherever it is, I miss it at the other location, but never seem able to justify buying a second one.
Me again.
How do I get my logo-thing to follow me around? (The one of my cheery red birdhouse.) Do I have to have a blog to do it?
Just today. Just today I was wondering what to do with my excess dictionaries, now that I'm no longer a translator.
Okay, it might have been yesterday. But still. You are now the proud owner of The Concise Oxford Dictionary, "The Best-Selling Concise Dictionary." (The New Edition for the 1990s.)
Umm, I'll send it to you next time somebody comes to visit me.
Your birdhouse icon is tied to your Flickr account. You would have to create a Blogger account (but I don't think you would have to create a blog) and add it to your blogger profile in order for it to show up here.

The GREATEST invention for babies. Mine used to bounce off the door frames and laugh like crazy!
