Interesting.. Of the two people that posted multiple words they both end the same.

Niki likes words that end in “ion” and I like words that end with a “y”. I think that is interesting.

Sinister – just like the way it sounds.

Lighten up brownlemur. The last one was 896 questions ago. A lot of new people have joined since then. And it isn’t like people dig through old questions like these to post an answer.

How do I jailbreak my iPhone is a question you should run a search on. This is not.

Please research questions to see if they have already been asked before you ask them.
