Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

It's probably been mentioned already on here but I always have to stop and think when I see the word hyperbole. Hyper bole seems so much more sensible.

I might have been thinking that incorrectly too. Bloody hell!

Words that just can't cast off their 'Greekness'. :)

My better half read Harry Potter before the films came out so Hermione is always Her-me-own to her.
