"WORD OF THE DAY", The WINNER
 

Dear Members,

Thank you for all your weird and wonderful definitions of "THAUMATURGE".

http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=39512

Who is the WINNER?

Do you remember that I wrote that I imagined the winner was a teacher who lived in a little village, possibly on top of a very high mountain?

SURPRISE! SURPRISE! I WAS AMAZINGLY CORRECT!

The WINNER is Teacher MARIONG, who lives in a mountainous region of --- HOLLAND.

A THAUMATURGE is: "A surgeon who works in Arctic regions and specializes in thawing out frozen patients."

Congratulations Marion.  Ik feliciteer u.

What is the REAL definition?  �A Thaumaturge� = �A performer of miracles or magic feats�.

It�s over to you now, Marion, for the next "Word of the Day".

Once again, "Congratulations"

Post Script.  I have written to MarionG, but unfortunately, she will be away for a few days.  She has asked me to choose someone else.  Here is the Winner.
 
"Thaumaturge is something that does miracles to your life. It�s what the ESLP site does to lots of teachers� lives around the world - a healing, relaxing effect. Happy New Year to all!"
