[Victoria Silverwolf]

Daysman: Two may keep a secret, if one of them is paid.

 

[Bren G]

Word can do that? Or were you kidding?

@BT Jones - there are also options you can use for mobile phone. One I use is Moon Reader Pro. I upload my working drafts in epub and listen to them. It makes it much easier to spot spelling, grammar and style mistakes.

 

[Parson]

@Artoriarius .... Though You Think It Be Not Easy ..... Even in the future it's still true that those who live by the sword, die by the sword.

@Daysman .... nonlocal legend .... If you have the scratch, the legend's truth is shown without a catch.

@Wayne Mack .... The Legend of The Oracle .... Sometimes legends are more fictional than this one, even though Oracle proceeded Google by 20 years.

@Guanazee .... To Asimov .... Some beginnings are more shrouded in legend than others.

@PigMonkey .... Hometown Legend .... Defeating a legend takes a lot of effort and a huge ability to be uncomfortable for a while.

Wayne Mack: You only get out of things what you put into them.

Guanazee: We all believe that each one of us is unique.

[Parson]

@StilLearning .... Legend: What Gets Written .... You can't be a legend if the scribe is dead.

@Elckerlyc .... Bronk the Hunter .... Some legends are rooted in the facts, and some axioms are rooted in bad common knowledge.

@Peter V .... Heroes, Great and Small .... Some hero's acts a memorialized, and some are committed to memory.
*Now I'll have the tune of "All Creatures Great and Small" stuck in my head for a day!"

 

[atsouthorn]

I'm in a strange mood, but also experimenting to see if anyone shares my sense of humour.
