the English say "he lost his life" but the french say "il a trouvé la mort"

I like the French way better

il a trouvé la mort is super rare, never heard that

il est mouru more like

il a perdu sa vie

flammable and inflammable.

I heard il a trouvé la mort only yesterday

pauvre Henri Duflot :(

good ones, kimmy

stay whelmed clergs

you don't want to be overwhelmed or underwhelmed, so stay whelmed, it's the sweet spot

I wonder whether it's possible to be gruntled?  Or is it just disgruntled?

according to google dictionary, gruntled is indeed a word

it conjures a happy pig

Well, bugger me dead.  I never knew that.

And indeed it does.

Illuminated and luminous

I will be using the word "gruntled" a lot now.  I started by just saying to a trainee I was gruntled with his work - he looked a bit crestfallen.  I told him to look it up.

We went to go and see Suzy Dent's tour and my favourite was her explanation of the phrase "stealing someone's thunder". Also spoke about some words whose twins were now lost (lonely negatives). See impeccable, dishevelled etc...

It was very interesting, I hope she does another one (so does Mr D but for other reasons...ha!)

heh@Guy

is Suzy Dent hot?!

According to Mr D, she is. He has quite the crush - probably ever since he sat next to her in Avignon airport about a decade ago. Ha. Also because she's all wordy and grammar-tastic, he likes that even more. Bless him. She's in her mid 50s, amazingly.

Suzy Dent is insanely hot.

It seems that depending on the context, "overlook" and "oversee" could be either near antonyms or near synonyms.

that is a good point

For years Ms. Dent was the reason to watch Count Down.

I have previously described myself as gruntled.  Shevelled also sounds like a good word for describing a state of being reasonably tidily dressed.

I shall now become appointed.  It is the obvous antonym to disappointed.  

Obvious, even.
