Always new words. Do you know "nacelle" and "ferrule"? Will I forget which is which, having learned them so close to each other? Will the etymology help, somehow? Nacelle's is a diminutive of ship, and ferrule's got a diminutive of bracelets combined with iron.
Did I ever tell you about the first (and only) date who was shocked that I'd used a word she didn't know, because she knows all the words? Of course that was it for her, with me. I think of her more than I might otherwise because I sometimes am near or on Haggerty Road. She'd suggested we meet at a place there, and at some point the "Haggerty corridor" came up --- it just struck me that it's a double dactyl. She'd never heard of dactyls.
Gee, I left this draft sitting, and didn't post it OR the Postcard of the Day, yesterday....
