hate English

stupid le instead of el just doesn't make sense

LOL, it's all in what you're used to. Like putting the 're' on things like centre when we're used to seeing it as 'er' (center).

I love wallball! We played it in high school some and that was the first time I remember it but other kids knew of it haha

but, when you sound it out, er makes more sense than re

 

[ShrekDawg]

Luckily i had make up and knew how to use it!

Oh wow

don't get me started on the spelling of French words



By the way...Spouse said that as a kid, 4 square was played up near Dallas, Texas....

Dunno...maybe I just didn't play it much, and that is why I don't remember.

Al, I don't remember 4 square around Ft. Worth in the 60's but memory ain't what it once was.

 

[sourland]

huh..... so is this played all over the US? Or only in certain regions?

Soooo. where were you when you learned to play it?

Meanwhile back at 'Four Square'. We didn't have blacktop so how the heck could we play it ? Hard to draw squares on dirt roads or playgrounds.

maybe it is a newer game? Spouse is multi years younger than I am.
