[I took this as a word-association exercise, which I now realize is not the point. Oops.]
Does anybody else feel incredibly relieved when someone else matches an answer you were worried about?
I find myself giving a :smack: looking at other people’s answers. I answered quickly. Why did I say Taming of the Shrew when so many more people know Hamlet? How did I miss all these good answers?
