FUN WITH CLASSIFICATIONS OF WORDS
SEE Lexical category from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts_of_speech
The classification of words into lexical categories is found from the earliest moments in the history of linguistics. Plato wrote in the Cratylus dialog that "... sentences are, I conceive, a combination of verbs and nouns. Another class, "conjunctions" (covering conjunctions, pronouns, and the article), was later added by Aristotle. Traditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech: the verb, the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection.
Each part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. Many words can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in another.
The syntactic role of the verb is to serve as an action word, an occurrence word (decompose, glitter), or a state of being (exist, stand). (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verb)
The syntactic role of the adjective is to modify a noun or pronoun. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjective)

MA O'Toole
One thing that ALWAYS impressed me about Mike Toole was that he didn't go to college until he was about 40 years old.
opsimathy
Rare. 1. a late education.
2. the process of acquiring education late in life.
Memories: We stayed in Arlington on or just off of Glebe Road when we visited him. I remember his dog, Calhoun. He was a german shepherd and he loved branches. I mean, he didn't care for sticks. I remember how he carried around these big branches. We didn't throw sticks or branches, he just carried them, dragged them around the yard with his mouth. He was a dog to remember.
We went to The Torpedo Factory while we waited for him to join us for lunch. I also remember hanging around the courthouse square the particular day. It was a sun shiney day. Not particularly hot. Perhaps it was a spring vacation. There were statues and informational signs (for lack of a better word at this time). I have a recollection of a room in that courthouse on the square. A big desk. Was it Uncle Michael's Desk? Or was that actually a Judge's bench in a courtroom? Indeed, I recall a giant round emblem on the wall behind that big desk. I was impressed. I thought it was Uncle Michael's desk.

Ishii-san : OBGYN Sanno Medical Plaza
March 15, 2006
I had just had the most outrageous OBGYN experience
When I got home, I asked my partner at the time,
"you wanna make a baby?"
The gynecologist was a young guy. Early 50s.
Great english for a Japanese person.
Tells me he's part Italian.
I don't believe him.
He has me sit in this great big comfy pink chair.
No stir-ups!
Some kind of curtain is pulled in place
in front of my lower extremities.
I don't see myself but I can see him
sitting on his stool in front of me.
If you want, you can draw a curtain in front of your face
so you don't even have to see him working on you.
The curtain amuses him, which would you prefer?
He pulls the curtain to an fro.
He suggests leaving it open.
He has to place those cold metal instruments in order
to get a pap. Explains everything so nothing comes as
a surprise. Then, for the ovaries . . . He doesn't
go sticking his whole hand up inside you to feel them
. . .
He places a wand inside you . . .
It doesn't go in very far at all.
You see it ALL on the computer monitor.
He explains, pointing here and there,
the ovaries, the eggs, the cervix, the wall of the
uterus,
the endometry stuff that's getting ready to shed.
He prints out some pics.
We sit, back at his desk, again.
He explains the pictures . . . the wall of the cervix,
the eggs, etc.
He said I have insides like a 21 year old,
5 eggs are getting ready for next month.
One big one ready to release this month . . .
He said I can have more babies . . .
Would you like to have more babies? He asks.
For a moment, I wonder, "You willing?"
I tell him, 'I'd need a a wealthy guy'
He doesn't make any offers.
He sends me home with a set of pics -
my future babies . . .
Like a proud mom to be,
I want to show these sonogram pictures to everyone
