You should sent this in to Webster's. Maybe they'll rise to the occasion.

P.S. I've been having fun with the "A Word A day (AWAD)" email list. Try a Google search if you're interested...the emails from them have been a treat!

I've tried one or two vocabulary mailings. I need a list that presumes I already know "ubiquitous" and sends me "uxorial" instead. I haven't tried AWAD, though; maybe I'll go check it out! :-) Thanks!
