Ink and Incapability


You can find the script to "Ink and Incapability," the Blackadder episode that we watched, at this site.

And if you're interested, check out this interesting essay by Jenny Perttola, "Linguistically Speaking: the verbal play and lexical wit in Blackadder." A good bit of her essay is about "Ink and Incapability."

Remember, we'll be using Blackadder's coinages for our Forgotten Words. And while the sense or meaning of the words is obvious from the context of the scene, try to be creative as possible in your own word histories. You don't have to stick to the meanings from the show.
