I do enjoy word play…..finding other meanings in phrases, or words which sound similar, for example. One thing I really notice about French is how they often love to find the words within words, breaking down a word into separate sounding parts and revealing a relevant meaning within. Here’s a simple example I spotted the other day
You get the idea? This one works because the French don’t pronounce “th” except as a “t”, so for them “therapy” is “terapy”. This is a key part of their word play which is based on what the words sound like.
This was a holistic massage office, by the way.

Love it!
Been following your blog for years, Bob. I think this may be my first comment. 🙂
Well, welcome, Neil, thanks for taking the time to say hello
Bob,
I love words too, and believe the ability to think in abstraction is about all that separates us from the rest of the animal world. (At least in our best moments as humans)
Hope you have a fine New Year in 2010 and beyond.
Dr. B
I hope you have a great, thriving 2010 too Dr B!
