This blogger is conducting a test
I want to see if posting through email really works. To that end, I present
the following observation:
The names of geometric figures are nouns:
"I have a triangle. I add a rectangle. I use a circle." See? All nouns.
If you want to describe something with these geometric properties, you have
to convert the noun into an adjective:
"I make a rectangular table. I cut a circular hole."
Noun : Adjective :: Triangle : Triangular
BUT! What about a square?
"I made a square. I like square sandwiches."
The noun and the adjective are the same!
What kind of messed up language is this?

Umm.. ignoring the bulk of the post - sending through e-mail worked!
Why must you make things so complicated?
Also, your popping up a window to post the comments is screwing with my Comment Tracker!
*grumble*
"Square" is also a verb.
Did I just blow your mind, or what?
WOW!
My mind was almost blown. Its only saving grace was that I had already come across this while contemplating the verb-ish duality of the word "circle".
Square does get the trifecta, though.
