• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Okay, here is another word game

I will type in a collocation like

on top

And then in following posts, new collocations will be formed:

on site
online
on time

However, the person making a post has a choice to post (1) another collocation using the first word of the pair or (2) start a new collocation from the second word in the given collocation. For example,

The last collocation posted is on time.

From this collocation, a person can post either

onto or time share

There is no penalty for repeating a previous collocation.


p.s. There are several ESL dictionaries that have collocations listed. These are offered online at Amazon. See Colliers.

(ESL = English as a Second Language)
