[the other kyle] thanks >What he said! >Tom"<p>I replied: <p>>OK! WHO DIED AND LEFT YOU TWO THE GODS OF AMERICAN ENGLISH!!!!!<p>I need to explain.....<p>The word "ballet" is typically used in American English to denote a form of dance. However, it comes directly from the French, who took it from the dimunitive Italian, "balletto," from the Italian for "dance."<p>The word "ballet" as Americans use it originated from a corruption, diminution.<p>Sure the American corruption uses the word as a noun; but, American English corrupts so many words from verbs into nouns and nouns into verbs...for example, I'll bet the other kyle and Tom "boogey." I'll bet the other kyle and Tom "waltz." I'll bet the other kyle and Tom "polka." I'll bet Tom, but probably not the other kyle, "foxtrot."<p>If they can boogey, waltz, polka and foxtrot, why can't I ballet?<p>Hey guys, you can check your prejudices at the door while I ballet!<p>BalletMaster<br><br>[/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
