    Awesome lesson Marina, beer for lunch break? :cool:

    Literature is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to people who have none. ~Jules Renard~ ;-)

    Homework: Your first book is awfully good! :smile:
    Okay I think the “awfully good” is an oxymoron. :|

    :razz: My random lesson… :cool: Lemons may be one of the most versatile and useful foods on the planet. Everyone loves fresh lemonade on a hot day or a squeeze of lemon juice on fish or seafood. Aside from being a nutritious fruit, lemon is a disinfectant, anti-septic, astringent and even helps to preserve and revive foods. With a few tips, you can learn to extend the life of fresh fruits and vegetables with just a simple lemon.

    [sour] is awesome[fruit]

    B-well and stay well…GREAT job Marina… :smile: A fun lesson might be on “[LIMEYS]“…+=+rickets…[lime] for the sailors

    You still didn’t explain why it was Awful that began being associated with “bad things” and not Awesome. I bet there’s a reason for that. Maybe the fact alone that ‘awful’ could be used as an intensifier acccounts for that? Or people’s tendency to intensify only negative aspects of life at that time?

  12. My dear Marina,

    I was pulling my hair out, trying to figure out why my log on would not work,

    I ought to be student of the day, I hung in there, I did not quit, I just went to your spelling, and sure enough it worked.

    Awesomewayne

    Marina,

    I know your videos are meant to be etymological and all that, but couldn’t you just do a video of outtakes of putting on lipstick?

  17. Awful can definitely be used in a positive way.

    For example, you can tell your favorite gal that she looks “awfully beautiful”.

    There, I did it. I brought a positive “awful” back.

    In Response to the question is aweful used in its original positive sense today? IT IS!! A derivative of the english word Aweful(ly) is used in a positive context in north east Scotland. the scottish word is affa (means awefully). It is typically used by older residences of North scotland in a phrase: “affa fine” in response to “how are you” type questions. See http://www.aboutaberdeen.com/doric.php for proof of the scots word.

    Marina;

    What is the “origin” of the word, “Dude”?

    or the expression, “pedal to the metal!”

    since I’m from the “motor city!”

    LOL

    warmly,

    Could I say that was awfully awful? But its the positive awful.

  21. I want to see a new episode of “Hot for Words” something awful.

    Sounds like “awful” was brought low by the power of western slang.
