I would suggest “Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance” of the king James Bible. It has every word including and’s it’s the’s etc.
Everything is in alphabetical order so easy to find.

I really agree with having Alinsky on there. Absolute required reading. Rommel learned from DE Gaulle, Patton learned from Rommel. Like Machiavelli, regardless of what one thinks of their “why” their “how” is as spot-on as 2+2=4.
good suggestions, thanks!

As a side note ... how the heck did “gift” ever become a verb?

Thanks for posting the info.

I agree with the list. Also, I apologize if this seems like hijacking the thread, but I’d add some fiction:
https://www.amazon.com/Matthew-Bracken/e/B00350B7EU
Matt Bracken is Free Republic’s Travis McGee, who is an excellent storyteller and a good writer. All of his novels are fun and well worth reading, and his last two especially are particularly well written:
https://www.amazon.com/Red-Cliffs-Zerhoun-Matthew-Bracken-ebook/dp/B073FSTKRH/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 [94% five star, 5% four star, 1% 3 star]
https://www.amazon.com/Castigo-Cay-Matthew-Bracken-ebook/dp/B004Z2CYLC/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 [67% five star, 22% four star, 6% 3 star]
Note: Bracken/McGee runs occasional promotions, where one or more of his novels are free, but I don’t think it’s worth waiting for that promotion unless money is very tight. He delivers a good product, and it’s appropriate to pay for services rendered when you can afford to do so.
You mean ‘gifting?’ I’m not sure, people used to say ‘gift-giving’ but apparently at some point the shortcut was made and caught on. With the internet, the rate of evolution of the English language will likely increase exponentially. If I were to guess the term ‘gifting’ probably cropped up in the 90s.
The author uses the verb form ‘gifting’ at the end of the article. In the headline, the word ‘gift’ is used as a noun.
Using gift as a verb goes back 400 years, but it has been uncommon for most of those centuries.
PROOF POSITIVE that both the Democrats and the Republicans sing from the same sheet of music. They're both demonic. That book is dedicated to Satan. May the Lord of angel battalions deal with them all, ever so severely.
Except Republicans, like Democrats, take Alinsky’s advice to heart.
That’s silly.
It would be like saying a manual of military strategy or chess was not useful or worth studying because it was written by a Muslimn or a scientific paper not worth learning from because it was published in the USSR- only an utter fool wouldn’t learn what they could from it. A loser of a fool.
#8 = know thine enemy
“Win Bigly,” by Scott Adams.
A book about Trump winning an election.
I bought my first concordance back in 1965. A few weeks later, my best friend got married. I was broke and the book was still new so I gave it to them as a wedding present.
Maybe 20 years ago, I saw one in the used book store and it was priced really low. It was well used but that doesn’t really hurt. Since then I have been surprised how much I use it.
I have just started Castigo Bay. My first husband was a Vietnam vet. Tough guy.
the character reminds me a bit of him.
