Methinks, does not have anything to do with thinking.







The Enki Fool in happier times, talking to a fish.


  1. In my dialect, we pronounce enclosure as en-KLO-sure, which also avoids the enk. Was the enk more common pre-Great Vowel Shift?

  2. The mighty are not fallen. In blogland, you are Mighty Still. How come you're so consistently fascinating? It's not fair.

  3. The Wicked Vicar and I agree that anyone who uses the word 'methinks' (especially in a knowingly 'ironic' manner) has declared themselves to be functionally illiterate.

  4. Moptop, that leaves dear old Shakespeare in an awkward position.
    KS, I'm afraid I'm no expert on the great vowel shift, which is usually about lengthening vowels, but it would seem to work.
