If you look here it's one of the recommended starting words

I'm doing quite well using DAISY or EARLY in the starting words.
I'm obviously mosre interested in finding good starting words than the game itself

If I'd used my list of starting words I might have got it one

In Welsh, yes.
In English, no - except on some words stolen from the French during one or another war.
Even then, the sharp bits tend to wear off pretty quickly as they look pretentious in English ...
Mostly, diacritics can be omitted completely without causing a problem in written English. Sauté for example is in the process of losing its accent, while café hasn't used it for years.

Many years in the past I used a product VBGold Resizer. It worked extremely well for all of my VB6 forms.
You could drop the tool on the form and it would handle the rest. It really helps with productivity.
Went to their website and their control for Dot Net runs on net 3.5. only.
I am looking for a product that does the same things but works with the latest versions of Dot.Net
If you know of one, or a book on how to accomplish this in code (Identifying the screen size, Resolution, component size and adjusting them all automatically), please let me know.

Not quite what you are looking for maybe, but in this CodeProject example you can see a simple way for resizing a form depending on the font size: RoundedButton Control - Demystifying DrawArc[^]
this.Font = new Font(this.Font.Name, this.Font.Size + 2);
I tried many complicated examples which did not work, but this simple way works for me.

While I know the refence, and it rhymes, I always found chicken dinner to be quite common for a life or death vs 100 experience!
I would expect at the very least an osso bucco, on a bed of vegetable and chocolate fountain! Just saying!

Osso buco on saffron risotto, as it should be (tipical Milan dish).

I respect you even more now. I have been doing all the household work, taking care of our kid and managing work for about 2 weeks since my wife is not feeling well. I feel totally spent by the end of day which was always closer to midnight and it is always doing the non-dishwasher dishes. I also have realized how we both have it easy since we can get help from each other. So, single parents, if you still have some energy left at the end of day today, have a drink to appreciate your dedication and hard work. I will.
I think my wife already knew this and that is why I have been tolerated thus far.

I know some sets of Grandparents who, for various reasons, end up being the "full time parents" to their grandchildren. I can't imagine having the energy for that either! My hat is off to them also!

As my daughter and her two kids (3 yr old boy and 1 yr old girl) have moved in with us recently, thank you.
She is leaving her husband who has been mentally and emotionally abusive. The final straw was he left for a ski trip. It was 2 days after my grandson came home from being in the hospital for a week after being diagnosed with leukemia. He left on a Wednesday and his son had treatment that Friday. We confronted her on Sunday and she finally admitted he went. She moved in with us that day. He came home on Monday with no clue.
His reasoning for going was that "it would ruin the trip for the other 5 people if he didn't go".
It takes all three of us and we can barely handle it.
Can you tell I'm sorta ticked off at the guy.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

P.S. Sorry to hear of your grandchild's illness, no kid should have to go through that. I do hope treatment is an option, and that it works spectacularly. F**k cancer.
