Pondering ...

Am I the only person who gets the words emaciated and emancipated mixed up with worrying regularity.

Sadly yes. When attempting to do the latter, I kept on saying the former. Or is that the other way around...?

I love that the Mac has it's own dictionary. Yes, I did get it the right way around.

In this day and age, you're probably the only person who uses them with any regularity.

Guilty too

Causing great hilarity when refering to a boy I know as 'looking very emancipated when striped'

And refusing to believe I'd got the word wrong... I mean, it sounds right...

Possibly; but I confuse the National Trust with the National Front, which is much much much worse.

Nope. A friend of mine used to do it all the time. He'd describe himself as 'emancipated' because he was a skinny little fucker.
