ReplyDeleteUSSR is not one word. Enu should be 1,1,1,1
When USSR and USA is written we normally don't write it as U S A and U S S R
ReplyDeleteIf we want to be too punctilious...
ReplyDeleteIf a letter has to be shifted upwards in a Down slot, 'promoted' may be all right. If it goes down, 'demoted' or a similar expression.
But if the word is in an Across slot, the letter moves only horizontally, either to the left (eastwards) or right (westwards). So some suitable term other than 'promoted'/'demoted' might be necessary.
Pink slip is generally the dreaded one.But here Spiffytrix made it enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThis chopper really flies?
Notices cut petticoats (4,5) PINK SLIPS
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked too deep into these things, but is every petticoat (slip) of the colour pink?
Pink is said to be ladies' colour & blue as men's.I dont know the reason,maybe someone can explain.
ReplyDeletePink as a verb means cut as per this online dictionary (did not know until I looked it up after slotting in the word)
