I love slight...This did make me laugh, Ed! Thanks!<br /><br />I love slightyears, even though at first I thought it was one of Noddy's classier chums.<br /><br />Anyway, if you and I use slightyears, and understand it, doesn't that make it a word?<br /><br />Ah. But come to think about it I don't understand it...Rats. <br /><br />There's always a snag, isn't there.Sally Pruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999389456442530903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954227388486879706.post-25730305932489727512013-06-26T21:35:51.833+01:002013-06-26T21:35:51.833+01:00What about the world 'slightyears'? Becaus...What about the world 'slightyears'? Because there's a light-year between the start and the end of that, and a light-year, as we all know, is soooo much longer than a mile. <br /><br />A German speaking friend recently read me that word that's just been taken out of the German dictionary. It was a jolly romp to listen to, although I had to lie down after and he went a bit dizzy.<br /><br />Oh, I should come clean: I made up the word 'slightyears'. But I did have you going for a second, didn't I? Come on! Admit it! Eddie Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070797673911194671noreply@blogger.com
