SPELLING MONTHLY June, 2008
“I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was selfdefeating to think of myself as needy. I was deprived. (Oh not deprived but rather underprivileged.) Then they told me that underprivileged was overused. I was disadvantaged. I still don't have a dime. But I have a great vocabulary.” Jules Feiffer
