I've found that knowing a little bit of Latin, Old English, and French has helped a lot, too. Janet: It <i>is</i> addicting. And that's good, because a thousand grains of rice isn't nearly as much as you'd think. (I counted.) But with <i>everybody's</i> scores added together, then it does start to add up. With all the crop failures in India, though, I don't know how it'll affect things... Megan: Excellent. :) Barney: Amen.

It's rather addicting and made me feel better about the 200 pounds of Jasmine rice I bought last week. I was surprised at how many words I got right.

I just had no idea it would be to serve several bowls of rice to someone on the other side of the world. Hooray for backformation, clipping, compounding, and morphology in general! : ) I knew that my linguistics would come in handy some time.
