How many words in rainbow? ©CAT, un Undo by [ cAncQ 4ownah@rid "Did you know you can make 36 words from the word rainbow?" 1 asked. "No!" "So?" and a slight turn of a head were the only responses 1 received. , "I heard it on tv," 1 continued undaunted, "but 1 haven't taken the time to prove it." This time the only answer was a disinter- ested grunt. so I began to quietly doodle. Two minutes later I noticed that someone was watching over my shoulder. Soon he was adding to my list. Five minutes later another pair were sitting at the kitchen table with pen and paper working on their own notes. Within 15 minutes, seven people were spitting out words at a furious clip. and 20 minutes after my solo start. we had 42 words listed. We could have done it faster and we could have added many more words, if we had not bothered with a dictionary and if we had not argued over the validity of certain words, Some ground rules had to be laid. Two people wanted to use proper names and pronouns. They were out -voted five to two. The winning argument contended that including pronouns and proper names would call for the use of capital letters. which is UCWtopic Mrs. McKnight introduced the guest speaker, Elaine Gottschall from Kirkton who gave a study on new discov- eries in nutrition. She is a university graduate in Home Economics and Biology, has her Master of Science degree secnieu inappropriate. Slang was allowed, as long as we could find it in the dictionary. But. the dictionary didn't help all of us. For example, 1 suggested "nob", but it didn't appear in the dictionary. i argued that "nobby" was an adjective. Therefore. why couldn't we have one "tiob"? 1 was out -voted six to one. Later 1 found "nob" in my dictionary. If only 1 had known more about cribbage, I could have given a much better argument. 1 was not the only person who tried to rationalize an idea. Someone proposed ) airborn. Three voices chimed in unison. "You can't use that. Airborne has an "e" and there's no "e" in rainbow." "That's for airplanes," he retorted, "When you're talking about birds that are airborn. there's no "c". He was voted dosNn five to one with one abstention. Someone else almost sneaked in "lain". but the dictionary squelched the manouevre. Gradually the healed discussions, the wise cracks and the snickers subsided. The flow of suggestions became a trickle and finally stopped. Seven people ended up sitting around a table staring at each other. Then someone asked, "Why dict you want to know how many words you could get out of rainbow. Elaine?" "Why? Oh. Uh. Well. I was just curious. I guess.' Popcorn po Friday afternoon at Huron - view a New Year's party was held in the Special Care Dining Room.
