Thread Name: so many consonants in a row esp. in songs
Subject: RE: so many consonants in a row
Doug, I agree that this thread belongs above the line.

Stu, your 'sixth string' was brilliant. Likewise, Tug, 'eschscholtizia.' Beats my 'glimpsed.' (Have you ever noticed that we actually say 'glimpst'?)

Gnomad, I know what you're saying about language, but when it comes to church, it is sad to hear a person stop singing, probably feeling excluded and embarrassed, because the lyrics turned into a thicket. This is particularly the case when the lyrics were merely mediocre Victorian sentiments to begin with.

Congratulations on 'Knightsbridge,' especially if we become Chaucerian and pronounce the 'gh' as German 'ch,' which is probably what Chaucer did.
