Positive / Negative

Was cleaning out some files and ran into this entry from an old Seattle newsie - Lou Boyd. He writes under the name Mike Mailway and has an amazing collection of trivia... Anyway: bq. If it's flavorful, it's "sipid" If it's splotchy, it's "maculate" If it's sinful, it's "peccable" If it's planned, it's "promptu" If it's alive, it's "ert" If it's tense, it's "chalant" If it's affluent, it's "digent" If it's unrestrained, it's "hibited" If it's significant, it's "ane" Yet you and I, who never use these positive words, regularly use their negatives... Fun stuff to think about. Lou is retiring - here's the Seattle PI article from August 7th of this year Posted by DaveH at August 12, 2004 12:32 AM
