Think High Cap got it.
Formerly known as Sarp.
Look at the sentence "What is the third word." It's a statement, not a question, stating the the word "what" is the third word. But, there is no question asking you to determine the third word.
In the version where "language" is the answer, the riddle states "....there are three words in the English language." Separate it out, and you have "there are three words in (the English language)." The riddle asks you to indentify the third word in "the English langauge." So, the 3rd word is "language." Get it?

Yea I think High Cap got it, if you look at the riddle,
"Angry" and "hungry" are two words in the English language that end in "-gry". What is the third word. The word is something that everyone uses everyday. If you have read carefully, I have already told you what it is.
It says what is the third word, it could mean the third word in the riddle.
.45, because shooting twice is silly.
Tent and Benelli, is your Dad putting y'all up to this? I mean, it would be just like him to try to frustrate me to no end.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.
