humphed??? You sure about the ph? “Otherwise the blog is terrific,” he jibed.
Yep! Ph and all. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/humph
Isn’t English an amazing language.
So many different sounds saying the same thing, so many words spelled the same but meaning different things.
So on and so on…..
Thanks for the comment. Love the jibed by-the-way.
