@RegDwight Seeing a cow on TV is not like seeing a cow in person, close up, with nothing between you and the cow. Like seeing a bear while watching Animal Channel is not like seeing a bear in person. Close up. Pawing through your backpack. Picking it up in her teeth and dragging it off into the darkness. To her cub...... Not defending people who don't know a cow can get to her feet, however. S----d is the right word.
Of course, novels in first person go like this:
"Then I changed to my winged form. I hopped to the ledge. The kethel attacked me.
The voice is literally that of the main character. As if he sat down and spoke his story to you from beginning to end. I did this then that.
Whereas third-pers...
We have words like racist, bigot, xenophobe, etc. that we are all familiar with, but what would we call someone who discriminates against left handed people?

I remember how one day we were having tea in the farmhouse, and there was a horse parked right outside the window. And it decided to go for a pee. So it just let if flow. Gallon upon gallon of piss. The stench was nothing like I had ever experienced in my life before. Or since. And it wouldn't seep into the earth because where the horse stood the soil was all treaded down and firm like stone.
So basically there was a huge puddle of horse piss in the yard for the next couple hours. That was our life now. It was 95 degrees and the sun was shining like crazy, so it did help with the quick evaporation, but accordingly not at all with the reek.
They really don't bring such things across on the Animal Channel.
@tchrist I'm sorry for a direct request, but what does the sentence you proposed yesterday mean? :) just curious "Give he notice and we shall let the room anew" Isn't it 'the' notice?... And how could it be misread
@ledonter I don't know the context, but if we assume there aren't any typos, it's sort of saying in ye olde style that "when he gives notice (i.e. says he's leaving), we'll rent the room out again".
I'm trying to remember an adjective that describes something you do to help yourself relax/de-stress, but I can't think of it. It's similar to therapeutic, but when I checked the synonyms I couldn't find it. I wouldn't say it's a common word either.
Ex: After a long day at work, I enjoy cooking ...
My reading case study mentioned that there are a group of engineers in a company who usually look down to other people in other departments because every major position within the company, including president and vice president, are engineers.
I look for a specific word to describe those people....
If I'm dealing with a salt or sugar solution, adding more water to it is called dilution. The same could be said of adding water to a liquid such as milk.
What word would I use if I was dealing with a paste of mud or corn starch? Adding water makes it more runny, less pasty, and dilution seems ...
I'm developing a system in which there's a process that retries one specific sub-process.
When trying to create a name for it, we went for something in the line of "sub-process-retryer", but the word retryer doesn't exist.
What is the English word for the one who retries?
"He retries that ever...
Is there a single synonym for "Tired" that only fits for the exercising "Tired" and not the sleepy "Tired"? Exhausted would work, but you could also use exhausted if you were very sleepy. I want this because I am making a card game with a word and a single definition. Here is a sample sentence th...
