I’m an avid reader, but terrible with spelling, punctuation and grammar. I head over to Dictionary.com when I can’t figure out what a word means. Today when I read Chip’s Quip on Plenary Snarks today, I didn’t know what the heck he was talking about. So, I wandered over to Dictionary.com and they got a facelift. Looks great but I think they stole the colors from me, though. (kidding)

Dictionary.com

And I still don’t understand what a Plenary Snark is. I had to go to Wikipedia to look up a snark, too. (hint: snide+remark). I suppose it’s not as funny when you’re dumb.

But hey, Snakes on a Plane looks good, huh?

Hey Doug, I meant it as a synonym for “lots of”, but to sound sort of like “plane”. A little too low on the signal/noise ratio with that pun, I guess.

[I'm laughing] Nah, Chip - I was trying to be funny, too. At least I know what plenary means now!
