Havent you ever handled any wet pieces of cloth after you wash them in a tub or something? Before you hang them up to dry, you have to dispose of most of the water that is in those pieces of cloth. What will you do to accomplish this task if all the means you have is a pair of hands (your hands). That action is called wringing the water out of wet clothes (i.e. twisting those clothes so hard that water starts leaking out of them) |

My online dictionary says: "wring - to hold something tightly with both hands and twist it by turning your hands in opposite directions" Obviously "wrung" is past tense for "wring"... _________________ Learning is a sacred engagement. |

Hey, that was a joke... I am not running any web site. I just use www.dictionary.cambridge.org I have been using this web site so intensively that I feel it belongs to me... :) _________________ Learning is a sacred engagement. |
