Question

Here I break a rule of riddling

...Because I can

I don't care what you think,

You can kiss my hand

Here and there, it's more common than

The many colds you've met

Rarely first but never last,

Often penultimate

It's not tangible and not a verb,

So don't think of them

This thing combines other things,

Sometimes adding them

More clues you might want but more clues you won't get

So without further ado, go solve it!

i am thinking 'words'......it's not tangible, not a verb.....

you rarely have the first word, but never the last....maybe often penultimate

combines other words, sometimes adding words.......atleast it makes sense to me :D

Bit 'o a pro'lem: 'twas certain 'o the answer lyin' by my fingertips' reach 'til realizin' it's sometimes seen e'en at some words' ends, too... 'less 'o course you didn't have an apostrophe in mind.

Actually, scratch that. An apostrophe can only come at the end of a word if it's indicating the possessive form of a word that is already plural (or for some other reason ends in "s"). If it's indicating possession, then there must be another word following -- the noun that's being possessed. Hence, a properly used apostrophe can come at the end of a word but can't come at the end of a sentence.

Prepositions

Hey DarthNoob. Great way to kickstart the old gears this Monday morn.

...the word you are looking for is and? no, it cant be because there it is at the end of a sentence.

Correct! & lol at it being at the end of a sentence

Gotta say, that was amusing ^^
