Another fun word-usage poll inspired by a discussion on facebook.
I'm not sure if this one is a difference based on geography, but I suspect that it is.

Apparently there is also a virtuous circle. Or, for fans of Piers Anthony, there is always the Viscous Circle. Not my favorite in the series, though.

My friends in high school LOVED Xanth. It was the Series to Read. I read some of them--well, I remember reading "Question Quest"--but after a while I got annoyed that he was having readers send in puns to use in his books. Write your own damn puns, Piers Anthony.

I read way too many of the Xanth novels - some of them were fun, but I've never felt like rereading any of them. I liked the Cluster series better, esp. Thousandstar (not Viscous Circle, though).

Seriously, though, I think I say "vicious cycle" when I'm thinking specifically about the time element, and "vicious circle" when I'm thinking about the relationships but not the time part.

After I read seven Xanth novels in 5 days, I haven't picked one up since. I did like them, but well....

Word to this poll. XD

[saralinda]

I will still be friends with the Vicious Circle People. But....I will also mock them. Privately.

And welcome, deleilan--do we know each other IRL?

Hi, thanks for the welcome! No, we've never met, I'm just a lurker who finally signed on to LJ and came out of the shadows, so to speak...

(Mock us all you want, privately or in public, but both anwers are correct! One's AE and the other BE, that's all.)

[saralinda]

Ah, okay! Enjoy the LJ experience then. *mocks...privately*

As long as it isn't a 'viscous' cycle.

I also hate when people confuse 'definitely' and 'defiantly.' Egads.

[saralinda]

I need to do more things defiantly. Like, right now, I definitely need to defiantly make lunch. Even if no one sees.
