Lettris

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.

boggle

Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

SAVOIR-VIVRE (s. m.)

1. Habileté à conduire sa vie.

Le bonheur tient au savoir-vivre ; De l'abus naissent les dégoûts (BÉRANG P. coups.)

2. Particulièrement. Connaissance des usages du monde, et des égards de politesse que les hommes se doivent en société.

On trouve chez eux une prévention toute établie contre les savants, à qui ils ôtent les manières du monde, le savoir-vivre, l'esprit de société, et qu'ils renvoient ainsi dépouillés à leur cabinet et à leurs livres (LA BRUY. XII)

J'étais alors dans notre chambre avec Mlle Toinon, qui me montrait de belles hardes, et qui sortit par savoir-vivre dès qu'il fut entré (MARIV. Marianne, 1re part.)

Je lui ai fait valoir d'abord la bonté, l'éloquence, la politesse, le savoir-vivre que vous avez employé pour m'instruire (VOLT. Quest. mir. 4)

On voulut auparavant me laisser acquérir la bonne grâce du maître à danser, m'instruire de ce qu'on appelle le savoir-vivre, la politesse (Mme DE TENCIN Oeuvr. t. IV, p. 25, dans POUGENS)

REMARQUE

Bouhours fait sur ce mot la même observation que sur savoir-faire.
