Why is it in this poem? ...Foeffer is a German name. Why is it in this poem? I do not know. If you google it. you mostly get hits on this poem...<BR/><BR/>Terpsichore (rhymes with hickory)is one of the nince Greek muses, the muse of dancing.<BR/><BR/>Balmoral is a Scottish castle. I think it's cheating to put names in the poem, don't you?<BR/><BR/>Kristen, I know a lot of people with that love/hate relationship with the language. As I learn more about it, though, all I feel is delight and a gentle tolerance for its idiosyncrasies now that I know more about why they exist. <BR/><BR/>I certainly don't envy anyone trying to learn it though. Swedish is nearly impossible for me at this stage in my life, even though it has much more consistent rules.<BR/><BR/>Mepomene, I think I misspelled it and it's Melpomene, another Greek muse, of singing. Again, not fair. Even native speakers will hardly have to struggle with words like that.Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333639250952967951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997830130858417318.post-19314297752375813232009-03-05T16:03:00.000-08:002009-03-05T16:03:00.000-08:00Fun!

English seems to be the compulsion of my wounded ego: love to hate it; hate to love it! <BR/><BR/>With Love,<BR/>KristenKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501072201331569123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997830130858417318.post-17666871167934031942009-03-05T15:23:00.000-08:002009-03-05T15:23:00.000-08:00Oh, thanks Kym, I will have to recommend that book...Oh, thanks Kym, I will have to recommend that book to my Swedish friends too. <BR/><BR/>I love Dr. Seuss. My favorite of his stories is from the Starbellied Sneech and other stories: say in very spooky voice: "The pale green pair of pants with nobody inside them."Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333639250952967951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997830130858417318.post-17828663792116216872009-03-05T15:00:00.000-08:002009-03-05T15:00:00.000-08:00That was fun!

I'd have to look it up. <BR/><BR/>The difference between loth and loathe is loth is an unwillingness to do something and loathe is a dislike of something.<BR/><BR/>This reminds me of Dr Seuss' book, The Tough Coughed as he Ploughed the Dough!Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724133309876710731noreply@blogger.com
