Antifreeze

00 I thought that I'd share with you my love for the english language - and one word in particular. 'antifreeze'. It struck me the other week how joyful a word it is. Think about it, a word, such as freeze, which creates the mental image of winter, all frosty and white, gleaming in the icy sunlight. Contrasted greatly by the prefix 'anti', which, metaphorically detracts from the harsh sounds of 'freeze', transporting you through a cosmos of melting emotions and desires. Ponderous. 02 br

00 Does anybody else share in my awe of the word 'antifreeze'? (never with a capital letter, as this too detracts from the meekness of the word). 0-
