Extra Credit: What is the difference between the words "stationary" and "stationery"?  Come tell me for extra credit.
Answer:
Stationary or stationery? Simple, Simon. Stationary means fixed in one place -- not moving. Think: stationary bikes are “anchored" in place, so use the letter “a.” Stationery is the paper and “envelopes” used for writing, so use “e.”
