AH, the power of the people who refuse to state the obvious.

To be honest I didn't think "Tithe Barns" were unusual.

And for our American cousins the obvious word after tithe should be dime.
Well that's my warped thinking anyway.

Yeh, a quarter is far too much....

Thanks so much Julie for this thread ! :)
Besides, I want to apologize for my mistake.
I posted a word that had already been published by Rob : Crop
Sorry Rob and all the followers of the Word Link.
Will not happen again.

Julie, small question, please : at what point do you decide to open a new forum "Word Link" ?

That's ok, Tom:)

When there are more than 500 posts in the thread, I start a new one because it's getting too long then.

I say old chap, I never spout. I may proclaim. prevaricate, opine, comment, observe, or even merely state, but I never spout. I am more accustomed to be likened to a pot rather than a kettle!

Both of which are very useful items, and often produce good things to eat and drink!

Actually, no. We use Tithe for the tenth that the church gets.

To "nick" something is UK slang for to pinch or steal.

I thought that was obvious - even from this side of the pond.

I had better explain this one:

Woman -> comma. A sentence I have seen used to explain why commas are necessary.

Woman without man, is lost.
Woman without, man is lost.

Notice the change of meaning with the placement of the comma?

An exclamation point can be called a "bang" in some computer terminology.

Woman without, man is lost.

Notice the change of meaning with the placement of the comma?

Then the second sentence would be the right one?;)

Whichever fits the meaning of the rest of the piece of writing would be correct. However, it is an eye opener to high school students that do not see the need for commas.
