While driving I try to think of words that contain the letters of the
license plates of other vehicles (kinda-sorta Scrabble-like). PA has 3
letters in their standard plate.
The shorter the word, the better.
Letters in order given within the word is better.
Alphabetical order is better (appears sooner in the dictionary)
So, given MND:
MuNDane is better than DaMNation
Mandate is better than Mundane
Mend is better than mandate
Is amend better than mend??
Is almond better than amend??
More important:
MouNDs Bar or alMoND Joy??
Sometimes you feel like a nut...
