I love to write. Nothing escapes the crush I have on the written word. I'm hooked on words!!

Re: Which is it?
Well, it could be either.
If you're talking about part of a clock, it's second hand.
If you're talking about a hand-me-down, it's secondhand.
If you're talking about part of a clock, it's second hand.
If you're talking about a hand-me-down, it's secondhand.

Re: Which is it?
Thanks, Jan.
