The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.

Say things like, "Mm hmm" and "uh-huh" and "yep" for a minute on your end of a "conversation."
ReplyDeleteOk, that's my guess.
That, or this is a smarty-pants riddle and you would say we are not using letters when we speak, but that letters only somewhat approximately represent speech sounds. :)
It's a conundrum for sure.
ReplyDeleteHappy Elf Mom; sorry, that's not it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a smarty-pants riddle though. Sort of.
Delores; I was surprised when I found out.
I give up.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if they spoke Welsh....?
ReplyDeleteynyknutnknmlynykl
lol, absolutely no idea lol.
ReplyDeleteI'll not give it away but perhaps you got this from reading A Wanted Man which I read recently. Jack Reacher showed how it could be done at the end of the book. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; giving up so soon?
ReplyDeleteYou're as bad as me.
Kath Lockett; no Welsh involved.
The Wicked Writer; I'll tell you then. In a minute.
Mimsie; I knew you'd know.
The answer is......count out loud from one to one hundred, it should take you about a minute and you won't need the letter A until you get to one hundred And one.
I've no idea, but you have some clever responses here! :-)

Pearl; the answer is the last sentence in the comment above you.
ReplyDeleteGroan. Clever, and now I feel inadequate. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteCounting is not speaking though.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; I did too, all the way through the book as I tried to figure out how that was possible.
ReplyDeletemm; true, but it is a minute of words without the letter A.
Welcome to drifting.
Re mm's comment. Of course counting is speaking unless you are doning it silently on your fingers perhaps. lol
ReplyDeleteMimsie; you're right. I suspect mm was referring to proper conversation.
ReplyDeleteAh ha... clever... I had to read the comments to figure it out.
