>BTW, were you testing her knowlegde of what alliteration means? While "Big Brother" DOES happen to be alliterative, somehow I don't think that weally was the word you wanted. :)

I don't remember what alliteration means - I was shopping for a term (maybe "alludes to" or "references") that expressed the connection of "Big Brother", the phrase, to Orwell's 1984. I thought the term was alliteration. I don't usually dictionary when I rant:)

Help me out if you can.

PS
Tracy is one of the coolest people I know. And, I must add, one of the very few that expresses undeserved civility towards me!

And now she's going "RIGHT!"

Imagination is more important than knowledge
