175 Lingustic Achemy
Attracted to Opposites
For centuries alchemists all over the world tried to change lead(*) into gold, but failed. Linguists, however, can do it easily just by changing one letter at a time.
In no more than two or three steps one could turn the following opposites "lead" into "gold", "warm" into "cold", "like" into "hate" and "mind" into "body". How about you?
