Come now. English can be understood well enough through tough thorough thought.
- nneonneo 5mo agoJust today the NYT Strands puzzle gave a great example: you can find one set of prefixes that make each of the following rhyme, and a different set of prefixes that make them all sound different: -ooze -oose -ews -ues -use -oes -uise You can do this purely with prefixes ending in consonants, i.e. not by turning -use into -ouse, for example.
