[Dixonary] QUED: Vote for the definitions

[Bill Hirst]

In spite of some nasty weather elsewhere, today in Florida was
beautiful, eighty degrees (F), breezy, and little white clouds
overhead. (It's horrible, but someone has to live here and endure
winters without the barest chance of making snowmen.) I was going to
make the deadline for voting at 8:00 am Friday (EST) but I have a
medical visit scheduled and I won't be home until about noon. The
medics insist I show up in person. Scoring will commence as soon after
noon as I can manage.

There are a total of 17 definitions for QUED. Please vote for two, by
public
reply to this message, before deadline, which is 12:00 AM EST on
Friday,
February 08, 2008, or 8:00 AM PST .

*1.*separated by washing into finer portions.

*2.*evil, bad

*3.*that which is to be circulated

*4.*Formerly, a quadrennial tax or fee paid to the owner of a rural
****tract for the right of passage.

*5.*a printer's mark indicating a passage in the galley proofs to be
****rewritten by the author.

*6.*[N. Eng. dial.] a sharpening stone.

*7.*a bluish-green color.

*8.*a large corner post in a sty or other enclosure.

*9.*1. A sweetheart; a lover. 2. A mistress.

10.*A knot or knob.

11.*a type of robotic arm designed for manipulating and assembling
****small machine parts (sl., der. from QED).

Uh, I think that should be 9:00am in California. I should not try to
do time zones in my head.

Yes, it was a gorgeous day! And I'll give up making snowmen any day. <G>

My guesses are:

<< *6.*[N. Eng. dial.] a sharpening stone.

<< 13.*A low cliff or scarp.

#8 and #13?

P.S.: It was a lovely day in Manhattan, as well--a balmy 68F.

7 and 9 for me. Undoubtedly wrong because my brain is frozen by all
this g-d snow! (A foot today, no sunshine in sight. The only thing
that keeps me from throwing things is the thought that in six months,
Florida will be unbearable!)

I like the idea of a printer demanding that an author rewrites something.... editorially I have suffered from vascillating authors;
authorially I have sufffered from insenstive editors; having the printer get involved as well is more than I could bear; so I go
with that one and ...... For another maybe the shortest

#2 and #5 please

5 and 17, please.

Best wishes,
Tim B.

Ah, but a/c takes care of that -- and walking from the a/c car to the a/c store is much more pleasant in the heat than in the cold, wind, and snow.

JMO, of course . . .

BH> I think that should be 9:00am in California.

And noon is also 12:00 PM. The AM version is midnight. I never understood
why they did it that way.

Oh, and both 4 and 5 must be true.

I'll fall for 6 and 14.

The First Hour was at sunrise for the ancient Romans. If it was good
enough for them, it should be good enough for us. After all, we still
use a calendar based on Julius Caesar's ideas.
