no idea how to use that word

8:16 pm

hokie carla

I haven't looked it up yet but wonder if it is like "we shall do that anon"

8:16 pm

gemini_J13

possibly

8:16 pm

gemini_J13

or the creepy crawler will

8:17 pm

hokie carla

well, it's not even in m-w dictionary, but they do have ef8 ending in s that is archaic for "s4 after"

8:18 pm

gemini_J13

very archaic

8:18 pm

hokie carla

my grandmother would use directly, like "I'll be over directly" to mean s4

8:19 pm

hokie carla

m-w does have that as a def of directly - "in a little while: shortly"

8:22 pm

gemini_J13

my paternal grandmother was Quaker so we heard a lot of archaic stuff!!

8:22 pm

hokie carla

I bet.

8:44 pm
