I definitely need a new dictionary. Mine collected 7 votes this round!
The next deal goes to Dave Cunningham with 6 natural points. The real
winners are Paul Keating with an unnatural 5 and Russ Heimerson with a
natural 5.
Johnny B found out that hypolimnion is one of the longest words that can
be typed entirely with the right hand!
For those of you using Dixomatic: I have discovered as a result of Bill
Hirst's voting message that Dixomatic will not accept just one vote from
a player. I got around this by saying that Bill voted for his own
definition as well.
