Re: [lace-chat] chutney
Mmmm, chutney. :) I should put up some more chutney, but I've been too busy with 6 jars of brandied peaches, another 11 of salsa and 6 of bread and butter pickles. Canning season is here in full force! Minted pears next, just coaxing the pears into softening a bit before I start futzing with them.

I bought some Ring of Fire peppers today - they are so hot that when I opened the plastic bag they were in to check on them, and ooh they smelled good and hot and my eyes started to water ;) I don't know what I'll use the peppers for. Maybe some salsa. -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] Storing photos
On an antiques programme on TV this afternoon the conservation and storing of paintings and photos was dealt with. They said that photos should be stored flat, not stuck on to anything, and that the best way to protect them was to put them in polyester bags available from art shops. Haven't heard of polyester bgs before, but that doesn't mean they don't exist because there are lot of things I haven't heard of before,like foamboard, which I ended up buying.

[lace-chat] :-) Today's riddle
David - I didn't it was pronounced incorrectly or wrongly just that the word itself is pronounced wrong. Perhaps a play on words, however grammatically incorrect, is'nt Australian humour.

[lace-chat] Computer Help Needed
Hello all, I need some computer help. I have IE 6.0.2800 and I just reformatted my computer. Since then I installed Java Plug-in Software from Sun Microsystems. However, some Java applets won't run because I don't have Microsoft's own Java program (can't remember it's name). Now because of the legal java situation I can't find a copy of MS's program. Can anyone help me? Tell me where to switch Java programs on my browser? Or do I have to change to Netscape? Except I can't use Netscape for everything because my internet schooling uses IE. Thanks for any help, Heather Abbotsford, BC Where we have had almost the driest 3 months on record.

Ah but David - the sentence IS grammatically correct, since the answer to the riddle is wrong. Clay - Original Message - From: David Collyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tamara P.

Re: [lace-chat] :) Fwd: English is hard to learn
I realize that this was last discussed back in July and I'm several months behind on chat, but I didn't see the answer to this one that I know. Apparently, says my friend and fellow lacemaker Sue the Linguist, dove as the past tense of dive is a back-formation in American English. It sounds like something that ought to get one of those German style (Anglo-Saxon) vowel changing past tenses, so we made it have one. This even though it always used to be a regular verb until then. When that back formation takes over England, all hope will be lost! :) Mind you, I can't think what other irregular verb the American past tense of dive is trying to copy. Weave/wove comes closest, though live/love is interesting to thing about.

For us it is When shot, the dove dived into the bushes My knowledge of the history of language is very slim and so I don't know if dove as past term is the archaic form as fall is the archaic form of autumn for us. Yep that's pretty much it... the dove dived sounds to my western US American ears much the same as the leaf falled from the tree- rather like the kind of error children make when first learning to speak. They learn the basic rules, but don't know when those rules shouldn't be applied. When I was taking linguistics (ended up taking three semesters of it- one for my BA in Anthropology, and two during grad school), we spent a lot of time looking at changes in verb form. In some parts of the US dived as the past tense of dive is probably accepted. It does sound odd to me, though.
