Re: [Dixonary] Round 2800: acedia - Definition List
I like the idea that vinegar has a ‘proof’ type rating, and it sounds nothing like the woid so 5 has a chance of being correct.
And 10 should have a name. 5. Strong vinegar, generally in excess of 33%. 10. The state of confusion or disorientation one experiences when awakened from a deep sleep. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.

Keith,
that may give you an antepenultimate feeling (or maybe even a preantepenultimate feeling) (I once remember an official notice from our IRS that referred to the year immediately preceding the year after the year of assessment and I have been confused ever since - I suppose that was a postpenultimate reference) *JohnnyB* On 09/05/2017 16:32, —Keith Hale— wrote: > Penultimate and ultimate for me 12 & 13. > Thanks > -Keith- > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.

I doubt that procrastination will lead to inspiration. So, I'll go with a couple of the negatives: 1 and 4.

if you removed the appropriate number of syllables then proantepenultimate would probably mean something nonsensical (¿my aunt is a lady of the night?) * JohnnyB * On 11/05/2017 10:31, —Keith Hale— wrote: > (((((((((( > > https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/preantepenult > > I had to look up your word to be sure i remembered right, and i saw > the truncated form. > Is it {situational} irony that the Ultimate syllable and the > Penultimate syllable were removed - if only for the senses that dealt > with syllables? > > ))))))))) > > On 9 May 2017 at 11:58, Johnb - co.uk <johnb (AT) john-barrs (DOT) co.uk> wrote: >> Keith, >> >> that may give you an antepenultimate feeling (or maybe even a >> preantepenultimate feeling) >> >> (I once remember an official notice from our IRS that referred to the year >> immediately preceding the year after the year of assessment and I have been >> confused ever since - I suppose that was a postpenultimate reference) >> >> JohnnyB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.
