Positive / Negative
Was cleaning out some files and ran into this entry from an old Seattle newsie - Lou Boyd. He writes under the name Mike Mailway and has an amazing collection of trivia...
Anyway:
bq. If it's flavorful, it's "sipid"
If it's splotchy, it's "maculate"
If it's sinful, it's "peccable"
If it's planned, it's "promptu"
If it's alive, it's "ert"
If it's tense, it's "chalant"
If it's affluent, it's "digent"
If it's unrestrained, it's "hibited"
If it's significant, it's "ane"
Yet you and I, who never use these positive words, regularly use their negatives...
Fun stuff to think about.
Lou is retiring - here's the Seattle PI article from
