Contest Word
Question:
That was a poopydoop tough word but I'm sure we've all learned a lot from entering the contest. Now without looking back at the correct definition, because I'm sure we've all memorized it anyway, I want everyone to use the word in a sentence and post your sentence here. Joan Answer: The definition of cyanoethylation neglected to point out that this process does somewhat reduce the ability of the treated fabric to absorb water. I don't know what percentage of reduction it is though. The ability of cellulose fibers to absorb water is one of the main attractions of those fibers, in my opinion. (Cellulose fibers include cotton, linen, hemp, jute, ramie, etc.) (okay, this isn't a 'real' sentence... Hope someone else can use it correctly! lol) Answer: Spam10 won 100 here points by correctly defining the word cyanoethylation. That's the best I could do! Answer: NotMe, you get an E for effort but no silver dollar. Joan Answer: Did you know that during WWII, cyanoethylation was tested as a means of giving cotton fabrics resistance to rotting? This was important because cotton canvas was still in use as the primary material for tarps, tents and truck covers (prior to the advent of many man-made fibers used now). Unfortunately, the process caused the fabric to lose strength and was costly, so it was never widely used. From textileworld.com Answer: Good one, Bookworks. I don't know where you peeps found these articles--my google search turned up mostly gibberish that didn't mean a thing to me. Looks like I need to hone my research skills. Joan Answer: While mixing my sixth martini of the evening last night, I accidentally used the bottle of stuff that's used for cyanoethylation. Let's just say it went straight through me and now my cotton underpants are sure to last a lifetime without rotting. Answer: LOL, Lilycakes, good try. Are you sure it was only six martinis? Joan Answer: Ahem. Anybody got good ideas for other words we might use for future contests... ... feel free to contact either me or Mapledr. Of course if you submit the word we use, you'll be ineligible to participate for points* in that particular contest.... *that would be here points not just-plain-points! Answer: Oops. I'm sorry and I promise I'll play nice. I was absolutely stumped for a genuine sentence using cyanoethylation. (Can that one count?) Copyright ? 2006 - 2007 www.thankhealth.com Privacy Policy
