    Why do you keep using the uncommon word “nigh”? It means near (adjective) or nearly (adverb). Nowadays one only sees it in poetry written a hundred years ago, or more.

      Well, for starters I was taught English nigh hundred years ago. This was from 1963 thru to 1968. You taught me a year or so ago that niegh doesn’t mean the same as nigh. Now you tell me it’s old-fashioned. Well, what’s wrong with an old fashioned fart term? Nigh is in fact an important word. Which means exactly what the Oxford Dictionary states and I guess you state it to mean as well.

    I appreciate your website, however I think you might check the spelling of a few of your postings. Even though I find it quite difficult to tell the truth because so many of them have spelling errors, I will most certainly return.
