The American Tegdiw is a practice. Animal, vegetable or mineral, it can also be ethereal and represent the piece or the entirely. Its use is measurement and value, both individually and in the aggregate.
The plural Tegdiw works in reverse of normal English words, being Stegdiw. Thus, is the plurality of all American Stegdiw, when considered as a group, the opposite of the individual Tegdiw. Metaphorically, the combined Stegdiw work against the Tegdiw as an opposing force, even though this might seem at first glance to be mathematically impossible.
The impetus of the Tegdiw is toward self-reliance in the classical sense. As such Tegdiw-ness is classified as a species. When pluralized, the morphing of the species turns inside out on a scale not unlike an incorrect application of Transporter mechanisms used in science fiction or in reality. The Zen of Tegdiw-ness makes the individual item its opposite in a group.
The practicing Tegdiw is to understand self-worth, a long, cherished ideal, now muddled in strands of frayed logic and canards that creep into words and documents. The Tegdiw never denies his or her worth, simply because Tegdiw-ness as worthy is a tautology: axiomatic.
Neither is a Tegdiw replaceable, although some might think this not true. Even though there are those who contend that the sum is greater than the parts, a Tegdiw understands intrinsically that being Is. Being is also The Gift, a fundamental fact that Stegdiw deny. Classifying a Tegdiw crosses all boundaries of business and theoretical logic. It is by accepting the Tegdiw as he or she is that understanding makes all clear to those that understand.
For the Tegdiw stands as a man, the American man, not men, not women, but indomiitable. Because a Tegdiw is a ‘widget,’ the basis of business and individual understanding of concepts great and small, the widgets of opposing thoughts fight in vain against the basis of all that is inheritantly true on earth, as it is in Heaven.
redrum.
I spelled a couple of words wrong. In the fist sentence, entirely should be entirety. I also spied a word with two ‘ii’s in it. Apologies.
No apology warranted. For newbies, the Tegdew is, formally but not formatically (by this I do not mean to reference formalism as a theoretical body, but rather the semiological but nondiegetic concept of form, both theoretical [projected and received] and Lacanian definitions, classically), in the post-modern sense, excepting populist Western European definitions, is the little, ring-shaped piece of cartilage between the forward-most, left-side antenna of the common North American lobster and the lobster itself. Though small and rubbery, it is edible, and delicious.
really. Now you’ve perked my ears up.

Capito and dittos, combat! as DDM and Marabou I built by first three houses of wattle-and-daub, and had no less than three shrines to the mouth in each.

“Out of Lithium? Try chewing a watch battery.”
If you can write an allegory that’s better, please do so. Ad hominem attacks add nothing to the thread.
But at least they use less bandwidth than pictures of rabbits with pancakes on their head. Wibble.
