It's been guessed in the other thread - the long overdue world premiere release of Breaking Away.

As I am apparently one of the few holdouts mourning as proper use of the English language fades further into abuse and oblivion, I can't stop myself from mentioning that "clue" is misspelled above. Yes, it makes me a stick in the mud, but I happen to love the written word and abhor its steady decline.

Um, no. If "clew" was good enough for Dame Agatha Christie and Edgar Allen Poe and many Brits, it's good enough for this board. It is obviously a variant spelling NOW, but was the most used spelling up until about 1940, and that includes American newspapers prior to that. I began using it here because of my love of Dame Agatha and it has caught on quite splendidly.


Well, you learn something new every day.

Interesting read. I've always thought that 'clue' was etymologically connected to the Dutch word 'kluwen' — 'ball of yarn' — and that it somehow had to do with the myth of Ariadne and Theseus. Now I know big grin

That blog, that's going to be on my reading list from now on.
