Anybody Know The Difference

Boy, I feel so métierial today.

[NotMuffy]

That thing really looks métierial.

You should put some ointment on it.

[NotMuffy]

People are so métierialistic today.

..may help us if we use it in a sentence

Darn glad I'm not the only amateur linguist in this thread. There are several of us nuts... oops... I meant to say wurd schollars!

Métier-Today's au jus sandwich was métier than yesterday's. Yum.
Wheelhouse-Is that a wheelhouse or a fakehouse? Those can't be wheelpeople inside.


That was a WHEELY good idea, Jeff! Although your example sentences were much métier than mine.

Since this thread has de-volved (as opposed to evolved) into a language issue, perhaps I could help (Just in case you didn't previously get notified):

Euro-English
The European Language Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty’s Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would be known as “Euro-English”.

In the first year, ‘s’ will replace the soft ‘c’. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard ‘c’ will be dropped in favour of the ‘k’. This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome ‘ph’ will be replased with the ‘f’. This will make words like ‘fotograf’ 20% shorter!

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expected to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double leters which have always been a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent ‘e’ in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing ‘th’ with ‘z’ and ‘w’ wiz ‘v’. During ze fifz year ze unesesary ‘o’ kan be dropd from vords kontaining ‘ou’ and similar changes vud of kurs be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After ze fifz yer ve vil hav a rali sensibl ritn styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evriun vil find it ezi tu undrstand ech ozer.

WOW this post became surréaliste as in surrealistic movement in paper art!

I dont understand all the remarks it is above my english understanding.

Is brain-cloud a french man? I wouldnt be suprised as Erewhon can be nowhere to search

Well this post is a riddle, no?

Métier or wheelhouse is just an expertise field for whom dont have a specific work like plumber.

Paper métier can be journaliste as newpapers need expert in paper.


What is the prize to guess the good answer?

[chunkyfrog]

As an English major, I think I learned something today.

BC, I want to say I'm sorry your thread got derailed, but I can't do it with a straight face. But I guess no harm is done as you'd already made your book decision. I see your unintended "word of the day" has even popped up in another thread. Hope you're having fun too.

[M.D.Hosehead]

All this frivolous banter is a delight.

Who knew we had so many cunning linguists?

[ozij]

Love it!

Now it takes a turné toward the ribald.
