Outdoor Writer Report post Posted April 12, 2008 And let's not forget "dear" as either a term of endearment or a four-legged ungulate as in white-tailed, mule or black-tailed deer. And then several weeks ago, an illegal "Canadian goose" showed up here without a green card. -TONY 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billrquimby Report post Posted April 12, 2008 I'm sure all our visitors will thank you. Your contributions have been noted and added to the Coueswhitetail. Com Dictionary. As for posting the original at 2:30 a.m., my body's clock is screwed up after spending a week in a hospital. It may have something to do with the pacemaker I'm now wearing.

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted April 12, 2008 I am really starting to take this personal Not one of the words I posted came from any message of yours. So your paranoia is unwarranted. Just watch who is following you, though, and be especially suspect if they often appear to be talking into their shirt cuff. They might be spell patrol members. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billrquimby Report post Posted April 12, 2008 Visitors probably will not have much trouble with typical typos and spelling errors. It's the infantile bastardization and corruption of names they may not (and I do not) understand, such as javi, elky, lope, yote, muzzy, etc. Bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
