[EcclesCake]

.....is it a moot point?

[mushroom25]

probably, since such evolution is inevitable.

[Zacs-Master]

It is unless you're in America. :-)

[humbersloop]

lol eccles

academic, surely? ;)

[EcclesCake]

I'm wondering if it is perhaps international lexical semantics......

But TBH I really don't give a toss!

As long as I can decipher the posts of others I'm not going to bother with having a tizzy!

[boxtops]

[Zacs-Master]

The American Evolution was a great milestone in history.

[Tilly2]

..............and the French one, stewey. The Russian one was quite a milestone as well.

[stewey]

You're right, Tilly: The French and the Russians were both at one time revolting.

[Tilly2]

well, the peasants were.

[stewey]

Tilly, you really think that these are revolting? http://www.pheasantvalleypreserve.com/Pheasant-Sales.html

[Tilly2]

No, I don't, stewey They look and taste good.

[jno]

they would look less revolting if they kept their culottes on

[stewey]

I just realized the these beautiful creatures are being sold for killing. Now that it truly revolting.

[humbersloop]

[sandyRoe]

Children? Isn't there a ditty, I'm not the peasant plucker, I'm the peasant pluckers son...?
