Spelling Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
I have always had a hard time spelling the word "hors d'oeuvres," for the times I've sent out party invites. And it's a pain in the tush to try and find it on M-W.com. So here's a good way to remember how to spell it:

HORSE (but no"E") + DOE+ UVRAYS (But spelled like it's pronounced by Julie Andrews in the D0-Re-Mi song on the Sound of Music...UV UV+RE...silent H...S)

You glance behind you to make sure that it's not an inanimate object that doesn't know better. Nope, it's a real person who apparently was never taught to give people a little breathing room. Here's what you do to make him back off.
Continually look back with the evil eye. Maybe he'll pick up the hint.
Start rocking back and forth. You might "accidentally" bump him, causing him to take a step back.Use your purse or luggage to create a natural barrier. Swinging these are helpful.
Start telling a story using gestures, the more erratic the movement, the better. Think large arm movements.
If all else fails, start acting a bit crazy …
