TOPIC: Questions that Haunt me

Know it all All this time I thought someone just screwed up naming things, hehe. Thanks for the info though, that's cool!

I was raised by a grandmother, born 1888, who experienced all those societal changes, including parkways, driving cars, new roads, driveways, etc.  She used to say things like, "That can't be a parkway, there's no park..."  She and her sisters would regale me with stories about what things mean, words mean, and so forth.  So, that makes me a bona fide know-it-some.

Good to have you around here then. You can help fill in the gaps for those of us without connection to previous centuries

You don't need connections to previous centuries in order to be able to look up the entomology of words...  now, if you will excuse me, I have to fire up the Conestoga wagon and get to my next inspection...  hiyyah oxen!

I hope it's close by! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conestoga_wagon At least you'll save on Gas

When driving oxen GAS is a HUGE issue...

You didn't really need to look up Conestoga wagon, did you?
