paen – had to look that up, good word.

Yeah, Merlin delivered my forks in quick time last week. They’re a very easy and reliable company to deal with.

I was at Merlin early last week about 4 pm and they had both Royal Mail and UPS there at the same time so they make sure the orders get out !!

paen – had to look that up, good word.

Evn beter whn its spelt proprly. The word is “paean”.

It doesn’t need a capital p in that context but there should be a full stop at the end of the sentence. 😀

EDIT: crafty edit there CFH 😉

Damn somebody with Greek O-level, or a good spellcheck.

I think both are acceptable CFH.

Flashy – Yes, it’s spelt paean in the OED – good spot.

Bloomin FOG making the both of us look stupid 😀

Roger, apologies, must have been editing as you posted!

FOG, not only that, but I did both Latin and Greek (GCSE, I’m not that old!) a year early. I have a Latin A-level as well.

🙂

It’s pronounced ‘pea-un’.
