Maybe that's part of my problem. I tend not to abridge myself when I should.

Abridge spans ariver or acanyon. You can awalk or adrive over them.
Someone had to say it. May as well have been ame.
ABRIDGE: Is that how we get over the river and through the woods to Grandmothers house? I think so :)
What's UR . ?
Abridge, to correct.
Huh?

I've always been intrigued with things that go on under abridge.
Trolls are my favorites. I have heard that Webster, Funk and Wagnor have been known to play under abridge. There are books about the latter, one is Webster's Under A Bridge with Dick and Harry.

eh, if you shorten a bridge it usually goes nowhere. Right?
cooper, how are you my lovely (11/07/09) twitter friend request?

good morning
I take it you decided to abridge this post by ignoring the comments. Probably a wise choice.
Only a roundhead ignores ignoble comments.
Cheesemeister, blogging should be therapy for the uncensored mouth.
Bless, bless, Bear.
Ayou or alawrence aWelka, Jenn.
Thom, is Nancy Pelosi your grandmother?
Not a word in my dictionary, Quilly. I'm with you there.
Certainly to improve, Ariel. You're right.
Yup.
Tx, Pia. I am declaring today the quintennial day for internet abbreviations on this blog. And it is over.
Haha, Jim.
In that case, Coop, it goes into a speech.
Karen, tell zipzap, halfway across the chasm is usually far enough.
Morning, Bear.
Quilly, in my defense I had a cold and thought I answered. Thank you for bringing me back to reality.
Rounder by the day, Kraut.
I hate abridged books, especially for children. They show no respect for the author or his/her readers.
