Are you Queen Elizabeth II Trooping the Colours on your Birthday Parade? It is a phaeton. Does it have a portable kitchen? It is a chuck wagon. Are you Sherlock Holmes? It is a hansom cab. Is it snowing and you are gliding along? It is a sleigh.

Right now on one of the whiteboards there's a collection of word lists: piles of earth (mound, berm, etc), then there's (grin/leer/sidelong glance etc), and there's laughter (giggle, cackle, guffaw etc). Those are decision trees in embryo. <BR/><BR/>This is the latest ephemeron in PoKs - there will be questions again sometimes, sometimes there will be this stuff.Dave Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485345030558890105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26056748.post-35275141992860100612007-05-18T15:38:00.000+01:002007-05-18T15:38:00.000+01:00Youch!

Do you start asking the questions first or gather all the words and then start making distinctions among? I'm glad none of these words are really used much now because I'm sure I'd be using them all wrong, like I do with groups of trees. I just thought forest vs. woods was regional...<BR/><BR/>Is this the latest fad in PoK or are we going to be favored with alternating decision tress and questions?Disco Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102319958554597698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26056748.post-47695225055906058232007-05-17T18:04:00.000+01:002007-05-17T18:04:00.000+01:00dave! you're such a tease, posting and removing! l...dave! you're such a tease, posting and removing! luckily gmail sent me the original before it was too late.
