opposite, or is it?

if you have a compound word or phrase like "hateless" and reverse it(lovemore), the word is still the same.

Re: opposite, or is it?

Also, if you have "bad good" (bad act of good) or "good bad" (good act of bad) it both means negative.
Silly English language.

Re: opposite, or is it?

@TheGameMaster1231: You take the opposite - e.g. fat changes to thin, so sleepmore would be awakeless.

@TVflea: It's a bit obvious...
Since you are taking the opposite of both words in the compound word, that means it's a double negative which cancels out, so nothing's changed.

http://www.amazon.com/Crazy-English-Ric … amp;sr=1-1 <-- That is the book for you. It's a really awesome book.

Oh, and if you look at it, you'll see how it relates to this topic.

Reversing is WAY different than 'Opposite'

And that has nothing to do with taking life seriously
