why does adding an 'ed' to the end of a word change its meaning so? i mean, i realize that 'ed' is a grammatcial morphological ending commonly used to mark past tense, but come on - this is totally different.
exhaust - car fumes, transportation waste....
OR it could mean deplete, of nothing else, no more.
so i guess they really do mean the same thing.
exhaust - deplete
exhausted - depleted.
yup. same thing. different word. i'm tired. deplete. totally exhausted. am going to bed now. these are the things i'm curious about during the day. word play.
acutally - before i go, funny story. i have laryngitis. went to work today - voice is raspy, but works.
so was working with a student (speech therapist works w/ young children w/ variety of disabilities) on vocabulary... asked her to say "turkey" but as I said it, my voice broke due to laryngitis.
darned if she didn't imitate me and break her voice too... her little voice flopped all around while she said the word. it was endearing, really :)
