I thought you were British but I see you are Canuck! When I graduated from dental school in 1976 (Loma Linda University in California), I took and passed the Canadian Dental Boards (all written) and since I had to wait to see if I had passed the California Boards, I practiced dentistry a few weeks in the office of a fellow Seventh-day Adventist dentist who has several dental offices in Canada, including Rosetown. <br />I received notice shortly thereafter that I had passed the California Boards and about that time I also noticed that the geese were flying south and so did I!<br />Lovely town and lovely people but the climate was a bit too rigorous for me!

I enjoyed researching and writing these posts over 3 or so years. There is a lot of interesting stuff in them, if I may say so myself, (and I occasionally drop in and read one or two) and hope you will browse through more when time permits.

If we see them in context, most native speakers of the language can be fairly certain of the meaning. However, knowing the origin of words and expressions greatly enriches one's knowledge of culture and history. No insignificant dividend in my view. I found this site while searching for the etymology of the word "curry" in its culinary usage as a substantive, knowing full well that it is used as a predicate in other expressions. As a chef and a linguist, I feel the joy of adding to my store of knowledge... now, back to the kitchen!<br />Great site, Stan! Thank you!
