Hello Marina,

Do you use the paper or electronic version of the OED? And which version — unabridged?

At one time, I had to walk by a bookstore almost daily. I would go in to browse and invariably ended up buying a book. After a month or so of this, I found that I have several expensive books on my bookshelf, but it was unlikely that I would have the time to study them. I then made a decision: if I found a book to be interesting, I would first borrow it from the library; if I actually studied the borrowed book and found it worthwhile to keep, only then would I buy the book. I adhere to that decision. Almost all the books I now have were purchased by this method.

They gave a lame excuse of getting the wrong number: http://twitter.com/hotforwords/status/3361630491 (And CBS Early Show cannot figure out dates: http://twitpic.com/e9z79 )

Marina gave them the right phone number (http://twitter.com/hotforwords/status/3361630491 ) but they could not figure out how to dial it without making mistakes! So there was no interview with the excuse “they did not have the right number”.

Anyone know if the CBS early show is streamed, and if so where? I found this which has clips but does not mention live streaming: http://www.cbs.com/daytime/the_early_show/ I also found these that may or may not help http://atlantis2.cbsnews.com/video/ and http://www.cbsnews.com/video/

[advice advise - will the origin resolve questions such as: Why 'c' for the noun and 's' for the verb? Why not the other way around? Are they supposed to sound different when pronounced?]
