This was a confusing round. Not only did I lose track of what day it was a few times, I kept posting the
word as "markey." Among the confusing factors were some e-mail glitches and a totally unnecessary scheudle change
which resulted in two players getting dealer points. Wayne Scott voted twice, for different defintions; I used the most recently posted vote. I got away with only one vote for a combined definition from Webster's 1828 dictionary and
John Barrs.
Judy Madnick and Toni Savage tied with 7 natural points each, but Toni is ahead in the rolling scores, so she
gets the next deal. Sorry, Toni, but you escaped dealing last time by a mere technicality and it's your turn.
(Unless I entered the votes wrong.)
