June's word cloud is here.
Hard to believe that aught-nine is half way over. (So is the year half empty or half full? Or just...half?
Speaking of "half", I've recently decided that you should be able to use "half" as an adjective modifier type...thing.
Example? Something can be meaningless or meaningful, but what if it's inbetween? Then, you would say that it's meaninghalf.
....yeah. I don't really expect that to catch on. Although it would be wonderhalf if it did.

I think the problem with that is that things are only described with a quality if that quality is in extreme. Like, if the thing has an excessive amount of wonder, or an total lack of wonder. If it's wonder-neutral, then there's no reason to mention it. You are expected to assume that the thing is neutral with regards to wonder. And I think that's necessary, otherwise you'd have to mention every other quality that it's also neutral of. And that would take a while.
I'm thinking you could just behalf.
I'm glad Amy posted first with her sharp insight as otherwise you'd have my random drivel. *snort*
I'm waiting for July's word cloud.
P@, you did it! A month without blogging. Welcome to my world. (Vicki's world is still a long way off...)

On the other hand, there are definitely occasions where you might want to stress the neutrality of whatever quality you're talking about.
For example, I seem to be opinionhalf on this subject.
