woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Finally I've decided to take the plunge and buy the BnB I've always wanted. Is there much going out there? Where is the best place to look? I've been told of one I should avoid but can't say which or I'll get sued.Any help much appreciated svp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Language is what we as a society and individuals want it to be and playing with it is just one thing. The BnB thing created something new (perhaps) which interested you. That is good, but that doesnt mean that it will become an everyday, accepted form. Think of language as plasticine. You can either use moulds to shape it (grammar etc) or mould it yourself into something new, individual, free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Yes LEO, it is good. Under the shower this morning I was thinking of the meaning added if we write A peace of paper = opens up all sorts of possibilities, including Peace in Our Time, peace treaty, paper as a means of peace. Of course then we have a peace of piper which leads elswhere.I quite like BnB or even bnb which is easier to type and probably inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 BnB has already been invented. Look up 'Nacton' in 'The Meaning of Liff' by Douglas Adams.If you don't have the book you can find it online here http://www.pages.drexel.edu/undergrad/aju22/liff2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
