    I think that guy just spelled it wrong. The stand that something like a model car might stand on is a plinth.

    I think the "Best Word Ever" is Synthesis it's Meaning and use will always will be modern
    The idiosyncratic syntax of riddles interests me

    Why would I apologise. You are still wrong.

    Your proof is based on the fact that someone else cannot spell.

    You don't even know the difference between a monkey and an ape.

    I smell a Sunderland supporter looking for a meaningless victory.

    Second description of PLINTH by Webster's: "a block used as a base (as for a statue or vase) [Latin plinthus, from Greek plinthos]"




    Don't ever call the librarian an monkey; he's an ape.

    My entry fot 'favorite word' would have to be 'impulse'. It has many meanings, applying from shopping to Star Trek. I also like how it sounds when you say it

    Oh, and Orangutan is a South-East Asian ape that is fairly large. Ironically, the name comes the Malay words 'orang' and 'utan' which mean 'large monkey or ape'. So there you have it. If you go to the Singapore Zoo, you can have tea with them and watch them eat Rambutans, another favorite word (and fruit&#33
