Justice Scalia Delivers Lesson on Word Usage

[Tom Zurinskas]

So if "disgruntled" means "discontent", then "gruntled" means content.  Root is the English word "grunt".  So if you're not content, you don't grunt.  So if you ask grandpa if he's OK and he grunts, all is well.

Please excuse extra junk from hotmail plain text.
