    Freezing out there this morning. When I went for my run I had to cut it short. May or may not be related but I was also unusually slow too.

    Fluorine is the most electronegative element, followed by Oxygen. Something I learned in Biology recently while studying glycolysis. Sully will surely confirm this if needed.

    Francium might be up there as one of my favourites. It is one of the least electronegative elements I believe. I prefer positivity (or at least less negativity) QB :rolleyes:

    Full disclosure, I'd never actually heard of electronegativity before.

    Fact finding mission - can words that have roots in other words be used. For example if feel has been used can feels be used? I'm guessing yes but just want to be sure.

    Fabulous. It gives me the chance to explain it. It's the 'desire' of elements to attract electrons.

    Further fact finding mission - can proper nouns be used?

    Faaaaaaabulous question.

    Feel and feeling are different words. Don't see an issue.

    Feels is a slang word in and of itself. No issue there either.

    forgiveness can be given for past transgressions, but fabulous and Faaaaaaabulous would be considered the same word, just cause you bastardize the spelling does not mean you have made up a new word.

    Finicky for sure but how else do you convey the accent that faaaaaaabulous conveys.

    fundamental to the rules are that you use a word. There is a finite number of words. If we just add letters to real word and allow them, this will get real silly real quick.

    Fortunately I'm home now, so I have started a spreadsheet (;) :P) to list all the words that have been used so far. So long as I refer to it and keep it updated I should at least not fail in using words already used.

    Fastidious about it, I am too. I have Conditional Formatting set to highlight any duplicate words and all. It's a beaut. :)

    Forty would be worse. I can't handle the heat. At least today you can put on more layers.


    (PS, cause I can't say it in a post on its own without breaking the streak, but, great idea Keith! Thanks for starting.)
