>>> Item number 21402 from WRITERS LOG9311D --- (20 records) ----- <<< Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1993 18:00:04 JST Reply-To: WRITERS Sender: WRITERS From: Mike Barker Subject: EXERCISE: puerile hubris, indeed! Robyn and jc and Randy and probably everyone else on the list mentioned the difficulties and cotton-picking hubris of using the words "puerile" and "hubris" in normal puerile conversation or writing. What the hey, gentle fey, let's play! Write a short scene or dialogue (100 words? why does that limit seem natural right now?) that includes these two words. Shall we limit ourselves to proper usage? (which means I gotta look them up and make sure they mean what I think they mean - I haven't memorized the OED like some people, or even the much shorter OAD) On your keyboards, press return, and type! tink
