anyway sir or ma’am will do as long as you’re paying attention to what we’re saying. Hi to all!

Holy Oranges, he’s going daft!

I tried going deft, but it didn’t work. Daft is easier.

deft and daft hmmmmmm! different vowel but I’d rather say be deft than daft.

No. It’s the same vowel. One of them is just warped.

I was saying literally. Maybe you’re talking with the schwa sound, right?

No its like his eclept and yclept.

so they do hve the same pronunciation?

Would you call Adam an ycleptomaniac, since he named everything in creation?

You, dear sub-Sanford-ian are still in the wrong thread.  This one is called ORANGE.

Why is an orange yclept orange?

Where does this belong?

Were you here when the thread began?????????????????????????

Were you here when the thread began?????????????????????????

I was here in spirit.

But was I meant was this: if I use orange and yclept in the same sentence, where do I put it?

I could tell you where to put it.
