I hesitate to conclude this song of praise to the glories of English with dark news. But I regret to inform you that recently, a senior editor of Roget's Thesaurus assumed room temperature, bit the dust, bought the farm, breathed his last, came to the end of the road, cashed in his chips, cooled off, croaked, deep sixed, expired, gave up the ghost, headed for the hearse and the last roundup, kicked off, kicked the bucket, lay down one last time, lay with the lilies, left this mortal plain, met his maker, met Mr. Jordan, passed away, cashed in his chits, passed on, perished, permanently changed his address, pushed up daisies, returned to dust, slipped his cable, slipped this mortal coil, sprouted wings, took the last count, traveled to kingdom come, turned up his toes, went across the creek, went belly up, went to glory, went the way of all flesh, went to his final reward, went west - and, of course, he died.
