The Science of Opposites

The science of opposites where we aim to explore the opposite of every noun in the English language.

Nouns don't tend to have opposites - words like knife, pen, house, car and phone are somehow more complete when you find their logical partner.

Register and play your part in solving one of language's great mysteries. If we all do 1 noun each, we'll have this finished in no time.

Surely to find the opposite

Surely to find the opposite of rollerskate we must first find the opposite to foot. As friction shoes are worn on the foot as foot wear the opposite cant perform the same function. The description of the function of the rollerskate neglects to announce the connection with the foot. This does not mean said connection does not exsit. A policy must be instated to give guidelines as to the descriptions and the infinate functions of one item.
