ruzuzu When I was about four, my parents and I lived in a rented farmhouse near Wahoo, Nebraska. Most days I would tell my mother that I was going to "my apartment," which was an ancient apple tree near the road. I would climb to one of the middle branches with my book, my doll, and my bear to snack on apples until the mailman would drive up (in a sedan he could steer from the passenger side), when I would climb down, take the mail from him, then go back inside.

rolig Ah, wonderful. I should do the same. And thanks for the word drupe! Nov 14, 2011
hernesheir I don't have trees, rolig. There are numerous orchards that grow all manner of pomes and drupes (apples, pears, plums, peaches, etc.) near my city. So the fruit is fresh, locally grown, and a good buy. The fruit stand is a short walk or bicycle ride from my home. Nov 14, 2011
rolig Hern, I actually meant first to comment on your apply day: it sounds lovely. Do you have apple trees? That's one of the things I miss in my urban life. Nov 14, 2011
rolig GHibbs's grasp of grammar is less than firm, I fear. Not every modifier is an adjective -- or more precisely, it's neither standard practice nor useful to label every modifier an adjective. In the case of the listing ship, we are dealing with a present active participle (as it was termed when I was learning grammar some 40 years ago) from the verb "to list" ("lean to one side").

hernesheir It's a bright, chill, crisp-apples-in-fall sort of day and I'm waiting for the jars of applesauce I'm canning to finish their 20-minute stint in the boiling canning kettle while listing @Wordnik. And I don't mean that adjectivally. Nov 14, 2011
GHibbs My alternative adjectival use: 'The listing ship will soon sink.' Aug 22, 2011

gangerh I have just become aware of a shift in the letter 's' on a word page. When 1 wordie lists a word the 's' is at the end of the word 'lists'. As soon as another wordie lists the same word the 's' moves 6 places to the left. And stays there no matter how many more wordies list that same word. That's neat! ;D Jul 5, 2008
gangerh Perhaps nobody is listing because all Wordies are upright citizens. Jul 5, 2008
Prolagus What about Nobody is listing. Why don't you?? Jul 5, 2008
bilby I just tried nobody is listing and got:
Nobody is listing nobody is listing. Why don't you?
