Equality:
Equality: A pipe dream often espoused by politicians which actually means that all men are equal as long as the man in question has a certain skin color, social status, net value, etc. We the poor and the middle class are equal to each other, and should listen to our betters. The feudal system is alive and well.

owl
Owl: A form of night bird with eyes and ears facing forward and not on the sides of the head like a normal bird allowing it to have binocular vision and hearing like we have. It also prefers standing more upright than something more bent over and water loving like a seagull. It seems wise which makes you wonder if there might be something wrong with it.
Wise:
Wise: Possessed of knowledge. This is not a another word for smart, as you may possess knowledge that is totally worthless, such as trivia about the TV shows of the past four decades. Try putting that on a résumé!
Résumé:
Resume': A type of clear soup made from richly flavored stock or bouillon that has been clarified, a process which uses egg whites to remove fat and sediment. Sorry, that's consomme. Resume: That thing wot you use to get a job.
Pendragon, how do you do superscript characters like you did with resume? Also, I must disagree with you as to the definition of wisdom. I would say wisdom is not the possession of knowledge, but an insight into the essential nature of things, such as you will possess when reflecting back on an experience long afterwards.
Squash--and go there, my friends. Go there.
Résumé: An odious written affair oft laced with lies predicated on the need for a good, honest, job.
Oops, too late.
Squash: 1) Puréed substance given by mothers to their babies; a taste not often revisited in youth but perhaps in adulthood 2) game which appears to be a combination of tennis and handball played inside a cube.
Puréed:
As for accents etc. you can use alt codes https://www.google.com/search?num=10....0.aduuRixZ9L8 if your keyboard allows them, or google and cut and paste in a pinch Example: https://www.google.com/search?num=10....0.UvCcTeIR92E . My keyboard doesn't allow alt codes (HP Pavilion dv6) but I can use a virtual keyboard for some. Example: ALT 3 (alt key depressed same time 3 depressed on a keyboard with dedicated number keypad or virtual keypad) = ♥. Special characters can also be generated by word processing proggies and cut and pasted, and within Windows http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...324c368?auth=1 and Mac utilities http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Symbols-on-a-Mac.
