I get that you answered my question...I knew the answer. I just don't know the answer to YOUR *similar* riddle.
Hahaha sorry that's what I get for trying to study stat mech at the same time. I was dumb and totally missed that - I definitely got confused. I don't think you're stupid at all...hehe...just me being distracted.
Did you want me to give you the answer? It's a really esoteric word but good trivia.

The word is "aitch". It's pronounced like "h" and its definition is "the name of the letter H." Lame, but good for word trivia or stuff like scrabble .

it's also a verb... the gerund "aitching" refers to the habit of some british dialects to drop the H from the beginning of words, and add one to some vowel-initial words.

I watch the television broadcast of the National Spelling Bee for fun. I think that's more sad. I was in it when I was in middle school and find it rather exciting. That's where I learned "aitch" from.

I am so pissed. I just pumped out this beautiful little one page paper, and now I read that it has to be turned in the day after you attend the meeting! BAH! He better take it...
oh and by the way, what's even more sweet is that we live like 30 seconds away from the bar. ie. it takes longer to drive to the bar, than to walk. albeit we were contemplating driving to the bar, due to our combine laziness.
I live half a city block off of the street referred to in the Gazette as "Montreal's mecca of restaurants, bars, pubs, clubs, and everything in between."
No space! Sorry!
