If this worked out correctly, it will be a miracle. <sigh> I double-checked all votes, but I wouldn't want to bet my life that the results are accurate.
It was rather interesting to see what happens when you don't combine definitions, but it's a good thing I didn't because too many things went wrong during the voting process. I won't go into detail, but I think I will start by reinstalling Cory and learning to use the automated process...*after* we return home from vacation! If you see any errors...well, I hope someone can easily correct them. Meanwhile, it better be another six months or so before I deal again!
The winner of round 2336 appears to be John Barrs, whose definition "grape-shaped [Lat. _uva_ grape]." received 7 votes, plus 2 points for guessing the correct def.
Tony Abell takes coveted second place with 6 points. And there were 4 players in runner-up position with 4 points: Tim Bourne, Chuck Emery, Jim Hart and Toni Savage.
The true definition was 1: "moist; wet." (http://phrontistery.info/index.html), which 7 perceptive players guessed.
