Me and you need to stick together on this stuff Briar. Nothing is worse then a bunch of people talking not good.

Don't let them get to you, I got your back on this whole wordsmith thing. Hey wordsmith is kind of interesting don't you think? I wonder if there is a wordjones too? And who would name their kid "word" anyway? Probably the same bunch who use those "ir" words. Hey, I got one for you too,
sage
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French sauge, from Latin salvia, from salvus healthy; from its use as a medicinal herb -- more at SAFE
Date: 14th century
1 : a mint (Salvia officinalis) with grayish green aromatic leaves used especially in flavoring meats; broadly : SALVIA
2 : SAGEBRUSH
I guess you told them, huh! They'll think twice before coming around again with their unflavored meats and stuff. I don't care if that herb (oh the "H" is silent here, thought you might want to know that so people don't make fun of you) is medicinal or not, there is just no place for it in proper language. Did you notice that "sage" comes from France? I told you to watch out for them French words, they can be a bugger. Hey, my definition is from the 14th century, how old is yours? Don't you love guys like Webster? Oh, I was going to tell you that Webster isn't that little kid on television that used to have his own show, it's a different guy. I know that can be confusing sometimes. I always got that kid confused with Gary Coleman didn't you? And whatever happened to Punky Brewster?
