Wordy Wednesday: Alliteration Awesomeness→[More:]
Me, mdonley: mentally making modals (might! may!) more moving for my minions.
I think you're in the clear, jan--if I recall correctly, one of my old poetry professors emphasized that alliteration is about sound, not letters. My man? Maybe mistaken. Mmm-hmm.
It's just the sound that matters, not the letter(s) used. (I don't have the mental capacity right now to come up with something witty and alliteratively delicious...)
box, I believe that should be your "past poetry professor pontificated"...
And including "one" and "once" works wonders while writing "W" alliterations but should never be mixed with "write" and "wrong". Of course, going into Elmer Fudd mode ("Wendell woves wabbits, weally") is just plain cheating.
Whatever way, Wendell's world wide web wanderings will wind wonderfully with wacky winking wit when wistfully watching window washers wake woefully weary warriors wondering why weak westerly walls wobble wildly which worries wan wimpy wheezing wonks wearing warm woolens warning weekly while wailing "whatever works".
