OK kids... Let's kick this off nice and easy. This is an effort to document the WENGLISH© that has developed over the last few years. I suppose the goal would be to draw some fresh blood into the gene pool by making the wedthred© a *little bit* easier to understand if not follow.

I will keep this first post editable as this thread progresses. Hopefully we can unite the results w/ a rules thread as well... Would be nice to arrive at a single post that could be linkable at the start (in the first post) each Wednesday. Perhaps it may draw more use of the Group as well.

So bring it on... anything and everything counts. We can add/edit/subtract at will!

Format: BEOWORLD / WEDWORLD© / COMMENTS?

NO WOOPS HERE! (That doesn't give you carte blanche, Andreas!)

Some easy ones to start...

Bang & Olufsen, B&o, Beo, etc... / Bananas & Oranges / Can this be shortened? B&o won't cut it! Just Banana???

Apple, Macintosh, Macs, OS X, etc... / Avocado

PC, Windows, IBM, etc... / Artichoke / Suggestion...

Camera, Nikon, Leica, etc... / ____

Watch, Timex, AP, etc... / ____

Car, Yugo, Trabant, etc... / ____

This is tougher than I thought! We WOOP so much! Perhaps we should just can the whole idea and let it ride!

Time for a

LONELIEST.

THREAD.

EVER.

Looking for woops are you?! I have had plenty, most all were made by you!

I think we should formalize the wooshing procedures.

Well don't just sit there! Someone say something!
