72 Temple Owl

le4/4 is more today.

6:26 pm

MollyL

I have a hard time believing that. Also, that 60 is the new 40. le4/4 is le4/4 and 60 is 60.
: D

6:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

is the first be4/8 supposed to ba a variant of be5/24?

6:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

because - SURPRISE- it has no definition!

6:42 pm

MollyL

The first be4/8 is defined as another word for Bedouin. Whatever.

6:44 pm

SamanthaJoy

How is that possibly not a proper noun?

6:45 pm

MollyL

I have given up trying to figure out why the Enable nerds allow some words and don't allow others. It hurts my brain.

6:50 pm

nrkii

I think it's also an archaic word for a prayer or supplication

6:51 pm

nrkii

Same root as "bidding" I think

6:58 pm

MollyL

Strange. I didn't find that in my search for the meaning of be4/8. I guess I didn't look far enough.

6:59 pm

MollyL

Sorry, the be4/8 that sounds like be6/24

7:14 pm

SamanthaJoy

I don't have a be6. Must be the one I'm missing.

7:14 pm

nrkii

it's a be5/24... no be6

7:15 pm

SamanthaJoy

Oh, ok, now I'm up to speed. Thanks!

7:20 pm

SamanthaJoy

Wait, how can I be inde4ed without de4ed being a word?

7:23 pm

SamanthaJoy

Eh. Questions about the english language are generally rhetorical anyway. I'm down to 25 and I can't care about the rest. See y'all another time.
