I only second Buck's views... Merely giving out cues for a word and guessing it out correctly hardly serves the purpose.. Its the brainstorming and the learning u get that matters a lot at the end of the day... No offences meant Indian girl... But discussing them wud rather help us understand the etymology of the words more effectively.. N of course its in no way spamming the thread... At least i feel so... I repeat again... No offences meant... U guys are doing a gr8 job... Thanks... n keep it up..

Would still suggest doing some research online before asking questions which really sounds meaningless to me coz i think when one has a tool to check the correctness of something ...that person can avoid unecessary spamming since i see that most of us are very much concerned about retaining lesser number of posts in this thread as far as possible and absolutely no issues in having discussions on something as long as it makes sense and really helps others... but whatsoever no offence to anyone....will just hope that what i said is not misinterpreted and is understood in good spirits...
