RSQ 37 dark side of the moon

[cambridgealex]

Jamie has asked me to act on his behalf tonight as he is working. I can say with some confidence, that he would be ecstatic to host the next quiz.

[Claw75]

you are of course correct, a tale of two cities was correctly submitted by all thast anwsered that particular novell.

imagine me missing an article.

which just shows that it is of no importance at all and travesty should be un-failed

Please show some consistency

he has - he has admitted his error in the latter case.

but not in the former.

no, coz travesty is not a synonym of farcical.  obv.

[TightEnd]

I think I am going to write to my MP. As jurisdiction may be in Ireland, I would write there, but that would be going a bit far.

It is a synonym of farce, and farce = farcical.

Unless the aim is merely to wind me up, in which case, well done

[thetank]

Two words are synoynms of one another if they are similar in meaning.

Let's get away from this idea of words being interchangeable or not having any relevance as to what qualifies synonymity.

After all, one may argue that in a given piece of writing no words are interchangeable. Someone may look at two words and declare that they both mean the same thing, but they may have a slightly different flavour of meaning, or have different connotations. Then there's the affect the word has on the pacing and  texture of the sentence and all sorts of other guff.

not a wind up attempt, my genuine opinion.  Farce cannot = farcical surely?  Farce, as gatso said, is a noun, wheres the word 'farcical' describes something that is 'farce-like'.  if Farce = Farcical there would be no need for two different words.

so - do you think 'travesty' should be allowed?

actually that reminds me of a guy that used to work for me.  he was 'difficult'.  used to send me a long email at least once a week complaining about various things - usually his colleagues.  before sending the message though he'd use a thesaurus to indiscriminately put long words in in place of his shorter words coz he thought it'd make him look clever.
