Philately is the study of what?
Correct answer: Stamps
IamThor101
I used to collect stamps but not philately
Sonia
Apocacrux, philo= love, a- = without, -teleia- = tax; exemption from tax, i postage stamp means it has already been paid for the transportation, thus, "i love tax free".

The word philately always makes me think of the movie Charade. I saw it for the first time when I was very young and the twist at the end blew my mind.

MissNikki, Because the "powers that think they be" (Elites that think they own this planet🙄) wants everything to go digital. Bills. Money. People etc. You can send Electronic Postcards now!! But here in Australia.... we still sell them at Information centres located in just about every township.

I got this wrong
Jenny
I have a huge stamp collection. It was my shameful secret when I was a child - I knew it wasn't considered a cool pastime - but I love my stamps and learnt so much about history, geography and society from them. Plus, it was just hugely fun sorting them and arranging them in albums!

Bertie (aka King George VI) was a huge collector of stamps.
Brenda
I have a postcard from 1911, with a postmark and stamp from that era.

As a child I collected blocks of four mint stamps with the identification number for the sheet. While away at college, my mother found them and use them.

IamThor101, That joke gets my "Stamp of Approval." ;)
Ati
zeppie, yes, right!. same pronunciation different spelling though. in this case friend or (in a more metaphorical way) "love" is the correct.

Solabraicity, I love the movie Charade. Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn were great.

Philos=friend in Greek. In this case "love" match perfectly

my older sister gave stamps collecting a try when we were kids in Jamaica West Indies
