I think I will avoid what seems obvious and go with what is probably wrong. <sigh>

I could have sworn I submitted a definition, but seems I didn't. Nevermind
that my name wasn't on the progress reports.

8 and 15 please.

I vote for 3 and 12. I include these two below because my copy of the
definitions had weird characters, and the first nine had no numbers. I
don't know how these will look when delivered in this message of mine.

Guerri,

I'm not sure what the problem is. The post looks normal on my end and
appears to be plain text so I'm not sure what's going on.

I'll take a couple which aren't verbs (although I was tempted by the
werecat in 10):

7 and 17 please

Chris, as one who has sometimes complained about weird stuff, I thought I'd
chime in. The list of defs I received looked perfectly normal: in
plaintext, all numbers present, no odd characters.

Well, I am using mail2web.com and that may have something to do with it.
That, or possibly whatever settings I am using with it.
