more about rolig:
Living in a non-English-speaking country, or rather a country that knows how to speak English only for practical purposes (for tourism, trade, international communication) and as one whose job is to produce well-written English texts, I find that sometimes I forget how wonderful and apt certain words can be; I find that some words I even forget about until I encounter them in someone else's writing and think, now there's a word to remember. So that is primarily what this list (these lists) are for: to remember words that don't immediately spring to mind.

I turned off the 'recent activity' feed in 'Preferences'. I can't remember why. Probably so I couldn't stalk myself.

Hi. Would you like to be on Identify the Wordie #2? You'll need to email identifythewordie@yours.com with your Wordie nick and the single word that best describes you. Cheers!

Hi Rol. I have a few short stories, poems, bits and pieces at au.360.yahoo.com/mondialdreaming.
Piazza 111 should be published about November. Having said that, I'm not at all sure Green Door (publisher) will have their act together. Might slip over to early 2009. I'll be happy to send you a copy when it's out.

Sorry, rolig. Today is not my day. I just replied to you on my OWN page!

rolig: Thank you! I'd very much appreciate your help with some shoecabs in Slovene; however, I'd prefer to correspondence with you privately regarding the Slovene. My contact address can be found at the older version of the gocomics cartoon website at:
http://www.gocomics.com/frogapplause/ or http://www.gocomics.com/shoecabbage/. Same email address for both features.

The new gocomics website is at http://www.mycomicspage.com (This site is still being under construction so not all of the bells and whistles are working).

Hello rolig,
Thank you for sharing the word stridulation but even moreso thank you for the wonderful citation about John Collier and Fancies and Goodnights. I plan to try to get a copy of it today.

Rolig: Have you seen this site?

fractured translation of Slovak idioms

Some of the "translations" are pretty funny. My favorites were:

It's valid to me like legs to a snake.
In flight, when it's precise warmthness, everybody is browsing banks.

I cannot even imagine what that last sentence is supposed to me.

You write very thoughtful citations and comments rolig so it must be time to thank you for that. Sretna Nova Godina!
