heeey sis..good idea..^^

i think my eyes have passed on the adj of that word.. when i first read it was in "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth..

when he says..

These beauteous forms,
Through a long absence, have not been to me
As is a landscape to a blind man's eye:
But oft, in lonely rooms, and 'mid the din
Of towns and cities, I have owed to them
In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,
Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart;
And passing even into my purer mind,
With tranquil restoration:

tran·quil-
Free from anxiety, tension, or restlessness; composed
needed to qoute this little big part in order to make the lines make sense
.. ^^'''

Google It


I have never understood who gets to invent words and why, but
I’m guessing that most words have been invented because of a
need to express a new idea or as a name for a new discovery or
invention. Laziness or convenience should not be on the list. Of
course, that’s only part of the problem with the phrase Google it.


Google is an Internet search engine tool and the name of a
company; in other words, it’s not a process by which a person
can search the Internet. Besides, is it really that much easier to
say Google it rather than to say Do a Google search or Search for
that on the Internet?
Wikipedia the word Google if you want to learn more.
