English question: Should this snip from the email below: :::Right now I have a :::jury-rigged wire holding things up
say "jury-rigged" or "gerry-rigged?" or "jerry-rigged?" jury-rigged - as in rigging a jury gerry-rigged - as in gerrymandering, which would of course be quite appropriate for this list - Gerry, I mean, not elections. jerry-rigged - doesn't relate to anything, I think. Jerry cans? I don't know what they are anyway. Sorry, I'm sometimes a bit of a word geek... In eastern Canada it's already Friday, I think, even though somewhere west of Minneapolis, where I am right now (in a rather nice state park at which I am the ONLY camper!), I believe it's still Thursday.
