Pound: hit hard with the hand, fist, or some heavy instrument.

This is not the way we speak of disciplining children.

Hello Mister Micawber,

I'm curious to find out if the term 'pound' here has anything to do with one of your hobbies. Incidentally, is ornithoscopy the same as ornithology?

Thank you.

Good morning, Conchita,

Been browsing the profiles, have you? Well the Pound in my proflle is Ezra, a favorite poet, and ornithoscopy is a euphuisim for birdwatching. Ornithology is a biological science.

Que lo pase buen dias.

MM

Thank you MM. It's the first thing I do: go to someone's profile, and it's a pity many choose not to reveal anything from themselves.

I thought you had made a typo with the word 'euphuism' (excuse my ignorance). But it couldn't be 'euphemism', so I looked it up just in case. Well, don't I learn a lot with you all! Birdwatching must be like a wonderful therapy, I should think.

Have a nice day, too (?Que pases un buen d?a!)
