I will look up the "sheets to the wind" phrase and put it in the next set of phrases. <br /><br />Also, if you received more than one reply from me (all slightly different!) it was because my wireless kept cutting me off just as I posted them and I lost them somehow. Grrrr. I need a new computer or a new wireless set-up. Or a nap!Margaret Buffienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676605338946672744.post-16274389037634094512013-04-24T01:04:55.448-05:002013-04-24T01:04:55.448-05:00This is so interesting, Margaret.

I'm sure this will stick in my mind (unlike so much else!). Makes me wonder about all the other phrases I use without thinking ... like two sheets to the wind (not that I ever drink, of course). Thanks for the fun post!<br />p.s. I never think about typos. Doesn't everyone do it?Jo Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216737818741038655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676605338946672744.post-13799573084760750542013-04-23T20:32:02.846-05:002013-04-23T20:32:02.846-05:00You're welcome.

Honestly Susan, I read these things over and over again and when they are "published" I catch even more errors! I need a blog editor!<br />:-)Margaret Buffiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902505902994554240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676605338946672744.post-42161743502396566422013-04-23T16:19:11.214-05:002013-04-23T16:19:11.214-05:00Word origins have always fascinated me, too.
