In My Company Newsletter

[Thadeus]

This was in my company newsletter - Maybe they are referring to editing skills...

"Few things are impossible to diligence and skill - Great works are preformed, not by strength, but perseverance."
-- Dr. Samuel Johnson (1709-84), British writer, lexicographer, wrote "Dictionary of the English Language"

Funny, I'm sitting here editing our company newsletter at the moment and now can't concentrate from laughing so hard... How hard is it to get a quote straight? Or at least get it to make sense?...

I wonder where they sell pre-formed Great Works?

Great wonks are performed, not by strength, but perversence" and, uh, interns.

Dilligence indeed. (Aye, there's the pickle!)

Tim, er, I mean Bob, did you intentionally use the word perversence instead of perseverance...

Otherwise, you are being perverse yourself according to Merriam-Webster's B definition:

1b : IMPROPER, INCORRECT

[SilentAiche]

er, Thadeus,

Yes, I meant perversence. After all, I'm no fan of those Clintons. Signing a Bill indeed, on Capital Hillary??

BTW - what was Merriam and Webster's relationship? There must be a word for it. Just check the, well, you know. And I don't mean the book that sounds like "they saw us."

P.S. - did you miss the "wonk" part?

UR, tim
