Share instances of flouting any of the four maxims.

Ex) Wife:          Honey, do you think I look fat in these jeans?
      Husband:    You know I love you no matter how you look!
      Wife:          Whatever! I will put on something else. 

In this dialogue, the husband his answer did not provide his opinion
on whether she looked fat or not directly;however, the wife did not seem to have a problem
understanding what her husband meant and decided to change her outfits.
Therefore, the husband flouted the maxim of revelance.

Share your favorite word and analyze it in terms of its word formation and morphemic processes.

For instance, my favorite word is ethereal.
This word is formed through affixation. Its base morpheme is ether and with the suffix,-al attached to it, it becomes ethereal. The attachment of the suffix,-al changes the noun word,ether to the adjective word, ethereal, so it is a derivational morpheme.
