Lithe or lithesome give the idea of being supple or flexible. Willowy - tall, slender, and graceful -that's perfect! I don't want to be skinny anymore. I want to be willowy, but I guess first I'll have to lose some inches widthwise and grow some inches lengthwise. So, forget it. |

| Re: English grammar The second speaker's use of "yes" is also potentially confusing or problematic. The first speaker's question asks whether or not John is ill, but the second speaker uses "yes" only to affirm that he/she also believes John looks thinner. The use of "yes" here is not technically incorrect, but could be confusing in conversation because the second speaker does not answer the question posed by the first. It would be better to omit the "yes" from the exchange. Yes? or is that just too nit-picky? |
