Anogram

[Steven Dumont]

I know this probably doesn't belong here...but I once heard an anogram
for "Information Super Highway". It had something to do with "insanity"
but I can't remember what it was. Any help?

Try alt.anagrams, if no luck here.

Most of the anagram sites or engines suck. They come up with really
stupid results.

The one I was originally asking about for, "Information Super Highway"
was "A Rough Whimper Of Insanity". That's a cool one.

Gram is a Greek root. I don't know of any Greek root for "ano."
"Anodyne" comes from "an" (not) + "odyne" (pain).

What about Latin roots? Many contemporary words graft Latin on Greek
roots and viceversa (eg. "multimeter," "hexadecimal," etc.).

"Hexadecimal" is just a euphemism for "sexidecimal."

My old English teacher called these "bastard words." It certainly
applies to "television"!

Television? The word is half Latin and half Greek. No good can come
of it. -- C. P. Scott
