Poll question: Someone just wished me a Blessed Christmas.
Edited on Fri Dec-17-04 11:04 AM by trof
In an e-mail.
I'll get over it, but...
is it "bless-said" or "blest"?
I guess I'll need to know this.

4. I always say..
Bless-said Be, so I guess that's right.

But what do I know.... I'm a Pagan and am going to Hell.

6. It's the style now
They often say have a blessed day. Especially in vogue among religious blacks of my acquaintance. I think it's also sort of a code word that they use to discover who's a born-again. But I'm not really sure.

8. According to www.dictionary.com
Either is acceptable, but bles-said is listed first.
