frindley
I like the way, by moving just one letter, my moniker becomes "friendly".

I reside in pedant's corner, but I like company, which means it's often pedants' corner, and so to avoid confusion I just opt for pedants corner.

It makes me sad that "also on" doesn't include an option for TypePad blogs. Ah well, here I am at Thomasina's Last Waltz with words, music and other enthusiasms.

And I post week-daily shots of Sydney Harbour and the environs (mostly) at Shuttercal.

  • about 8 months ago, frindley said: Frindley is back, having neglected wordie for a bit. Embarrassed to say that it was the recent new facebook debacle which reminded me that I have even more fun over here.
  • about 10 months ago, frindley said: My problem with new year resolutions is that number one on the list is always "go to bed before pumpkin hour" – and of course the nature of new year's eve is such that I break it instantly! I think I might opt for Epiphany Resolutions this year instead.

  • about 1 year, 1 month ago, chained_bear said: Yes, frindley, that's the purpose indeed. Bilby, I do actually have a few lists. Thanks for the suggestion though.
  • about 1 year, 1 month ago, frindley said: I think c_b wants to take care of cross-referencing for later on when we stumble across these words in isolation. No apology needed. (Was always fond of the surrey with the fringe on top myself.)
  • about 1 year, 1 month ago, bilby said: No really good way? How about a list?
  • about 1 year, 1 month ago, chained_bear said: Hi frindley, I just wanted to apologize to you and whomever else might be annoyed for the string of similar comments about horse-drawn conveyances. There's no really good way to link together a whole bunch of bizarre words without posting comments on each word page which unfortunately then hogs up the whole front page for a bit. Fortunately it passes quickly. {Ahem.}

    I've been avoiding Wordie for a few months cuz when I joined, I became instantly addicted, and was finding myself on here 3, 4 hours a day. That might be how much time people with TV spend watching mindless crap so at least I was actively learning stuff not zoning out like most Americans, but my other responsibilities were suffering as a result. I laid off my favorite site until your message called me here again, but I should ease back in gradually, like an alcoholic sipping wine.

    However, I'd like to know more about this, "pedant's corner" of which you speak.
