My dad who was in the Navy would say after dinner, “Girls, titivate the galley.”

Your Dad was a man of letters. Many received from home.

Louis, you are so kind to give me this award. When I see my Dad, I know he will be very pleased. He is/ was (ret.) a proud Navy man. After the Americans liberated the Philippines, he could not wait to enlist (he was still under-aged at the time.)

Thank-you for a positive and enriching series on expanding the use and dispersion of our great language. You make this site worthwhile.
