And the winner of Round 2498 is Judy Madnick, with 6 natural points for her
ravine,
followed by Tony Abell with 5 votes for his Algerian bread.

Nevertheless, the most votes were for the Dictionary definition.
What a curious way for a boring old Dutch ship with two masts to attract 8
votes <g>

Congratulations Judy!
And a very big welcome to Dixonary, Andy!


Best wishes,
Millie

Gee, I would have been perfectly happy with 2 or 3 points. You all didn't have to be so nice to me. :-) And why do we get congratulated for "winning"? The real winner is Tony. :-)

I'll post a new word shortly.
