@peemee Funny list. I would argue that most of those adjectives either 1) aren't adjectives, but nouns that can be used as modifiers or 2) haven't been integrated into English to the point that they could be called English adjectives — I don't think many native speakers would accept "an adagio stroll in the park", for example.
"Someone lying in bed awake after having silenced the alarm clock may claim to be up, though not just yet up-up, which would involve being in an upright position, having the eyes open, and wearing clothes."
Following that definition, I'm rarely up-up.…
Are there any adjectives in English that don't end in either a consonant, y, or e?
@kdfrawg I should like to be in such a position. Right now, I can't see for the things I have to do…

@kdfrawg Let's track down some old books and do a little data collection…

@kdfrawg Read once about people who used to inhale spores that had grown on old books' pages to get high.

@gtwilson Sounds delicious. I'll just be grilling this one with a bit of sage and garlic, then making a basic red wine gravy to go with it and roast potato wedges.
Found a very interesting butcher a few days ago. Buys his animals live, and sends them to a slaughterhouse to be prepared to his specs.
Asked if he had any pork chops, he cut them in front of me.
Asked for sirloin, he went down to the basement and brought up what looked like a log of meat — dry aged, untrimmed — carried over his shoulder and prepared it as I was watching.
One of those pork chops will be cooked tonight. It looks more like a T-bone, it's so big. Let's see how good it is.
That folderising script is finally pretty much usable.
And I did indeed just use it. >1600 files moved into 779 folders, all as properly named as the source data allowed.
Immense satisfaction.
