C’era una volta il telegramma, ai suoi tempi il modo più rapido per effettuare una comunicazione importante sulle lunghe distanze. Era un sistema alquanto costoso e, poiché si pagava a parola, si faceva il possibile per ridurre il numero di parole al minimo indispensabile per comunicare il messaggio voluto. Oggi, nell’era digitale, il telegramma è del tutto superato, ma noi ne prendiamo spunto per fare un simpatico gioco linguistico.
Utilizzando tutte e soltanto le lettere della parola qui sotto, strettamente in ordine, bisogna comporre un telegramma – serio, giocoso o folle che sia! Non ci sono particolari regole e la normale grammatica può essere in parte tralasciata a scapito del messaggio da comunicare. Si possono, per esempio, togliere articoli, ridurre il verbo al participio passato invece di coniugarlo, spezzare il messaggio in due o più frasi, firmare alla fine e così via. Chiaramente si gioca molto con i nomi propri, le parentele, i titoli, i mestieri, il genitivo sassone, gli aggettivi e gli avverbi: l’importante è venire fuori con un messaggio comprensibile!
Ecco la tua parola:
Ed ecco un esempio per far capire come si gioca:
Sarah Put Expensive Curtains In Aunty’s Lavatory.
(Sarah ha messo delle tende costose nel bagno della zia.)
Non essere timido e unisciti al gioco lasciando il tuo telegramma nei commenti. È una sfida divertente!

Very nice, Paolo. Will I get to know Sally at some point?
Surgunf protests encourage community in aspired liberty
I’m not too sure about that “surgunf”, Giuseppe.
Have you been drinking again?
I have written “surging,” but mysteriously, it has been modified by an automatic (in)corrector.
PS: since I don’t drink anything, but still water, must I change my bad habit?
I had a feeling it was supposed to be “surging”: nice!
As regards your bad habits, still water is inclined to rust your innards, as I’m sure you know.
But maybe a little rust is good for you.
Who knows?
😂
I am afraid I am already too rusty! Perhaps a little good wine could clean my organs, fog my mind, and help me to see the world more enjoyable, as well.

Some Participants End-up Completely Interested And Lively
I’ve asked the judges to rule on “end-up”, Claudio!
I’ll let you know. 😉
I can’t wait, Tony!
You may have to be very patient. They’ve got a lot on their plates at the moment. 😉
Skilled players enjoy cycling in amazing lakes.
Hi Rachel!
What do you think about Canoeing instead of Cycling. I think it’s more appropriate here, isn’t it?
😉
“Canoeing” is a good suggestion, I think, Claudio, since we are talking about lakes.
I would also suggest “people” rather than “players” because players implies a “game”, and neither cycling nor canoeing are games. They are activities.
What about telegramma serio, giocoso o folle che sia?
Good point, Rachele. It’s all Claudio’s fault! He got me thinking too seriously! 😜
I will be kind and forgive Claudio who caused some confusion😄
I’m sure he’ll be forever grateful to you. 😉

Please Send Extra Candles If Available.
Lamplighter 🕯️🕯️🕯️
To be fully correct, Luisa, you should say,
“Send, Please, Extra Candles If Available. Lamplighter”
🙂
True! I am sorry. In my defense I can say that it is exactly what I wrote down on a piece of paper… but then I made a mistake when copying it😇
I had a feeling that might be the case as it was such an obvious mistake! 😀
