@englishupenn @AnthonyLeeVoice @MerriamWebster The "free" in freeway refers to traffic flow - there are no intersections, no stop signs or traffic signals, just on and off ramps. Has nothing to do with tolls. So, yeah, a tollway can be a freeway.

@MerriamWebster A freeway is anything with unfettered traffic flow - no stop signs or traffic signals. It has on and off ramps.

[Eric Sauer @wisepeppy]

@MerriamWebster Oh, and Highway is the most generic term. Interstates are highways. Freeways are usually highways. And two-lane state highways between towns are highways. Heck, even the county roads can be considered a highway. Literally, any elevated road with some speed to it is a highway.

@JustinFlood Nacelles attached to the saucer seems contrary to the premise that the saucers are separable from the eng section. Wouldn't the nacelles naturally be attached where the warp core is? This feels like a creature with his arms attached to his head. Is there precedent for this?

@MerriamWebster I grew up in South Dakota and knew it only as pop. At some point in my childhood I learned that some people call it soda, which sounded wierd to me, so, just to be different, I started calling it soda, only to learn as an adult that I just conformed to most of the United States.

@PAVGOD Yes. Her name was Mable, and we were only together for one splendid weekend on a lake in Northern Minnesota, and then she moved to California. I think about her now and again and wonder how she's doing.

@justawaystogo @AndreaK1041 @midwestern_ope No, (if today was still Tuesday) tomorrow would be this Wednesday. A week from tomorrow would be next Wednesday. 2 weeks from tomorrow would be the Wednesday after next.

@garwboy I made a mistake drawing a sketch with pencil and paper and reached out with my other hand to do a Ctrl + Z.

So, with adjacent vowels, do you pronounce the "klein" parts, or as "inkle-inkle"?
