Every now and then I look up words, but nowadays only online. <br /><br />Now there's also the most excellent English/Swedish online dictionary: http://tyda.se<br /><br />There's even a forum where you can discuss expressions and idioms. <br /><br />A word that I had problems with was «awry». I'd seen it written so many times, but never heard it pronounced. Luckily I'd never been in a situation where I had to use it, before I eventually found out. The pronunciation was entirely different from what I had thought LOL.<br /><br />I didn't get the part about JFK and knoll.<br /><br />Awesome photos here...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-57889608451903030562011-04-14T07:48:34.386-07:002011-04-14T07:48:34.386-07:00Thanks for all your comments.

I think quite frankly, it is something variable, knoll, hillock, hill... Considering I insulted my MIL when I didn't realize I was on top of a local mountain where she lived (Mountain, Oregon, several thousand feet. Mountain, Missouri, not as big, and no snow in May), so just call it a knoll, and impress people with your vocablulary! <br /><br />:D<br /><br />CatCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085463730809297977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-9803078120457451662011-04-13T14:18:00.118-07:002011-04-13T14:18:00.118-07:00I love the photo with Princess and your property i...I love the photo with Princess and your property in the background.
