Completition

Wednesday 12th December

Hooray! By next Wednesday I will have completed buying half the house that I already bought all of.

It made me think… if you compete you are involved in a competition, so if you complete, how come you’re not involved in a completition? Or should you be in a competion if you’re competing? Just like how you don’t plantate things on a plantation. Which, incidentally, is why I believe you don’t orientate things, but merely orient them.

I shall shut up now.

  3. If you orient things, do you have to occident the rest?

  4. Is that like

    If Tim is short for Timothy, then Jim should short for Jimothy?

    (I’m sort of back… after a spell of being jobless…. I’ll try and catch up on the last 2 months)

  5. Yes, it’s EXACTLY like that, Rollasoc. When I was a kid, I had friends called Jon and Ken. It was obvious to me that since Jon’s full name was Jonathon, then Ken’s full name was Kennethan.

    Jobless? Your idea or theirs?

  6. It’s also like if Hants is short for Hampshire then it’s a shame there’s no county called Pampshire.
