We were delighted to stumble upon a seemingly absurd reference to "
lengthy one-letter words." The context was newfangled electric typewriters with overly-sensitive touch-response:
the slightest droop of the wrist, spelling lengthy one-letter words: mmmmm or zzzzzzzz
Of course, lengthy
one-letter words add up to another passion of ours:
all-consonant and
all-vowel words! Can you guess our definitions for
mmmmm and
zzzzzzzz?
