Old Farmer's Riddle: When is the letter E like an island?
(Answer below.)
Ask the Old Farmer: Folks in
Maine would threaten to Rive
a child a “tin ear” if he didn’t
behave. What’s the origin of
the expression? K. L., Port
land, Maine.
There is more or less reason
for supposing that the word
was originally “tinge" relat
ing to color and, maybe a
burning sensation.
