Funny Side of English
Word Pyramids: When a word become shorter and shorter by one letter, making meaningful words at each step. An example : Short becomes an "O" as shown
O
TO
HOT
SHOT
SHORT
Now let's test the Grey cells of ToM users, the words are BEFRIENDS, DRAFTING and FLIRTERS. Can you make word pyramids out of any of these ?

Too easy, Campese - much harder if you have to keep the letters in the same order at each change, e.g.
ASHAMED
SHAMED
SHAME
SHAM
HAM
AM
A
Can anyone do better, i.e. start with a longer word?

try FLOCCINNOCCINNHILAPHILAFICATION
It is actually spelled, FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION
I came across this word in like 5th or 6th grade while writing definitions for a punishment, and have remembered it ever since.
Befriends
Befriend
