Catching up a little late and goodness! (or should I say “bloody hell”) I won! I’m gobsmacked. I shall indeed contact Brad. It was really fun thinking what words I’d like to share and even more fun to read everyone else’s. It certainly added to my vocabulary.

Lesley, my apologies! In the States, Leslie is a man or woman’s name, but I just assumed … shame on me.

Hey Brad!
Glad you liked my little Aussie lexicon. It was a fun project.
One thing, though: I’m a she not a he. Lesley is the feminine spelling of Leslie, FYI! A very daggy name all round …

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. . .

Hi Brad, you made me laugh with this post – it was a great way of embedding the words, the contributions and the people wot wrote them in our consciousness…

Thanks for running this project with me – it was fun. Till next time!

Jeanne, you’d have come up with some winning words, without doubt! Maybe next time. I wonder why “Tested Sentences” isn’t in print. Everybody seems to regard it as a classic.

Brad,

I’d like to offer my congrats to Geranium Cat for winning this contest! I’m sorry I didn’t manage to find the time to participate. My apologies. Wanted to, but it’s so hard to coordinate everything sometimes! You and Joanna did an excellent job of putting together this competition, though! Hope you’ll do another very soon! (Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would reprint Tested Sentences That Sell? It’s a great book!)
