Nobody asked me, but … (#32)
September 12th, 2008 Al KalterCan you read the writing on the wall? What do you think it might mene?
No, that’s not a misspelling. In fact, the last word of the second sentence is directly related to the first sentence. When you’re a crossword puzzle fan, like Gary and I are, you learn many rarely-used words that puzzle constructors rely on to complete their grids. But when we came across mene last week, neither one of us had heard of it before. And, between us, I’m sure we’ve done thousands of puzzles. So, of course, we had to find out what this new word, um, means.
