The letter e is important. It occurs only once in "umbrella" but twice in "needy" and "greedy" but also, sadly, in "seedy" and "weedy" . I saw a nice umbrella that had been (more "e"s there... and in "there") blown inside out and obviously discarded. It made a delightful piece of still art (or street litter as it is better known). It was a decent (2 "e"s) umbrella and I would have like to have seen (tr"e"m"e"ndous) the obviously very affluent owner chcuh it down in disgust. Unfortunately Karen has the camera today so I couldn't take a photo. Damn! (No "e"s).
Standing in line at the bank I overheard the girl (no "e"s) in front say, "Please make the cheque out to Tracy Edwards. No 'e'". What? But that would be Tracy Dwards! I almost pointed out the error of her ways to her but thought better (2 "e"s) of it. Actually my mate's name is Hen3ry but the 3 is silent. As perhaps I should be.
