1:07 am
hurshy

it would count if it were there though rbud, as it is also a kind of hay
1:07 am
grannyrose

there are some really weird ones today and when i click on the question mark all i get is 'do you mean affection'.. very strange. anyone else get that?
1:08 am
hurshy

elven doesn't count??? poor tolkein must be turning in his grave
1:09 am
harpjane

No matter what question mark I click, I get the definition of "integrity."

well, i have 90%, guess i'll be off now. ttfn all
1:18 am
rbud

see, that's another one for the "why English is so hard to learn" list - why isn't it spelled like "simile"
1:19 am
rbud

bye, then, hursh, laters
3:36 am
jwr

anyone have a definition for de5/18? It's common for Enable to be missing a word's meaning, but this one I can't find anywhere.
3:49 am
zoozzoom

English or Dutch tin-glazed earthenware, typically decorated by hand in blue on a white background.
"walls covered with delft tiles"
3:49 am
zoozzoom

Damn I meant to take the word out of it and forgot.
3:50 am
zoozzoom

Slinks off to the PB with a red face.
3:51 am
MollyL

No slinking. I thought that was funny. : D
3:52 am
jwr

zooz - there's another de5/18
3:52 am
jwr

there are three that I have
3:54 am
jwr

the de you're talking about -- my mom had several figurines
3:54 am
jwr

oh, well. I'll try again later.
3:55 am
zoozzoom

Another DE5/18 The act of developing or the state of being developed.
3:56 am
MollyL

It looks like some old time (Scot maybe) word for the same word spelled with an i at the end aka Satan
3:58 am
jwr

Thanks for looking, zooz. That must be a British dictionary. That's what I was thinking, Molly. I'm just being picky I guess. The meaning zooz found is always a given as a root, not as a word in itself. I give up. Enable is always right!!!!
3:59 am
zoozzoom

Enable is not a dictionary I would turn to normally lol
4:00 am
MollyL

I think the definition that Zoom found is a
"post Enable"/urban dictionary definition. Like using def for definitely. We have become a society of lazy typists.
: D
4:01 am
jwr

You said it! I just started with the question mark as usual, then went on to Google. I couldn't find an example of its use (as a 5-letter word) anywhere and I'm sure I've never seen or hear it. Have you?
4:02 am
MollyL

I couldn't tell you what the qualifications for inclusion in the Enable word list are. Other than the whims of those who created it.
4:02 am
jwr

Is "Zoom" preferred? I didn't know that either. Have to look in on the chat more often.
4:03 am
jwr

*heard*
4:03 am
zoozzoom

You can call me what ever you like :-) zoo ; zoom; zooz etc
4:03 am
jwr

Uh. How's Mary?
4:04 am
zoozzoom

I did not think the word 'Awol' was allowed but enable does.
4:04 am
MollyL

I once asked Zoom if his original intention was to be zoomzoom. When he said yes, I started calling him that.
4:06 am
zoozzoom

That is correct, Molly. I was too hasty with my typing and did not spot my mistake until it was too late. Tsk! On sudoku it is 'zoomzoom'
4:06 am
jwr

Apologies for any gender offense zoozzoom. I didn't see the blue shoulders; then Molly was kind enough to use the right pronoun
4:07 am
zoozzoom

No offense taken, Jwr :-)
4:08 am
zoozzoom

We are all equal :-)
4:08 am
jwr

Thank you. I live in a place where "microaggressions" are taken very seriously.
4:10 am
zoozzoom

Unfortunately it is not just where you live. It seems to be everywhere.
4:12 am
jwr

Going back to work in a few minutes. Thank you all for getting involved in my minor dilemma. Enable is so frustrating for all the words it Doesn't have that I thought I'd found one that didn't exist at all. I'll take Z's definition and be done with it. Also, I will take my annoyance with the language facists away with me.
4:12 am
jwr

Babblepeople are the best. "poof"
4:13 am
zoozzoom

Hope you have a good day work, Jwr!
4:14 am
zoozzoom

Molly as I leave too just thought I would let you know that Abba are bringing out two new songs! LOL Happy babbling everyone!
4:18 am

Thanks Zoom. Fair warning. I will avoid those at all costs. : D

9:18 am

they might be shell-shocked
9:19 am

or simply down on their cluck
9:22 am
rururocks

there could be a punster in the coop and doing too much yolking around
9:22 am
moolingwa

that's a poultry excuse
9:23 am
moolingwa

not that that's any reason to chicken out
9:23 am
rururocks

there are likely a dozen reasons
9:23 am

good morning all. I see the feathers are flying already ;)

but I don't want to brood on it
9:24 am
rururocks

we knew you'd come through in the clutch mool
9:25 am
moolingwa

well I don't want to crow about it
9:26 am
rururocks

maybe there is an unknown plot to hatch in the coop?
9:26 am
NatashaW

egg-zactly!
9:26 am
moolingwa

just don't get too cocky
9:27 am
moolingwa

it could be just a shelll game, and we could end up counting our chickens before they've hatched
9:27 am
rururocks

that might be the problem.. the rooster has spent too much time incubating
9:28 am
rururocks

on the other hand.. the hens might just be trying to pullet a fast one
9:30 am
moolingwa

then our goose may be cooked
9:30 am
moolingwa

It would definitely leave a fowl taste in my mouth
9:30 am
rururocks

I'm just trying to figure out why they aren't laying.. it could be that they are all chook up
9:36 am
Trifioso

hello again - quick break, so time for a brief hunt and peck (going with bird theme)

CC: Avi Abergel, Michael Vaknin, Joseph Rose, Dmitry Shimelfarb, Tomer Samarkandi
FROM: Carlos Benaim, Harry Katz
RE: One-Year Agreement, 2018-2019

Dear Juir and Ariel,

We were truly gratified to hear from Tomer Samarkandi that consensus has now
been reached to continue the partnership between ISEF and the Edmond J.
Safra Foundation in the coming year (2018-2019) on the same financial terms
as this year now ending.

We look forward to meeting together with you in December 2018 to discuss how
best to structure a new three-year agreement going forward.

We are, as ever, deeply appreciative of your steadfast support and your
commitment to ISEF's students and mission, and we wish to convey our
heartfelt gratitude, to you personally, and to everyone at the Edmond J.
Safra Foundation.

With best wishes,

Carlos Benaim Harry A. Katz
President Treasurer

do you test the same grades every year? up here it's 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11...
so if you teach the same grade you have to go through this EVERY year :(
11:01 am
Trifioso

we do. It starts in third grade, and goes through 10th grade. If you don't pass the 10th grade test, you don't graduate. secret -- the 10th grade is the easiest.
