[kuh-lab-uh-reyt] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –verb (used without object), -rat·ed, -rat·ing.

If a work is sacred to the writer and mustn't be touched, it would never appear in a collaborative area. Laurie put her poem here to be turned into something else and I admire her greatly for it. Perhaps it's also shown her what direction her words might be able to move in -- or perhaps it's shown her that she's happy with the way it's going right now. Her response is invited -- in fact, required. Back and forth in cooperation. It's a learning process for all concerned and should not be undermined in any way.
