Without further ado, here are the results: Tony Abell has the win by a
landslide. I think most of us saw the way his hedgerow was collecing
votes. Judy and Nancy share the coveted runner-up spot with 5 votes. I
get 3 votes for the dictionary. Oddly enough, the word "yard" is
plural in a previous version of Websters, and singular in the 1913
version. I thought that would look like a player's accidental
misspelling and throw some of you off the scent.
