[Dixonary] Rd. 2835: Vote now for ACROMION

Hi all,

Well, it took two words but here we are. There were NO DQs this time on
acromion, not even from Mr. Barrs. Pretty rare event, that. (The rare
event I mean is that we have no DQs, not necessarily that Mr. Barrs is not
a DQ. But, come to think of it, that's pretty rare, too.)

We have 14 nice definitions from our clever crowd which includes the
dictionary. Please vote for your two faves before the deadline and then I
can end this weekend of subbing. Tim Bourne promised to deal for me next
time I'm the winner, for which I am grateful. Based on prior experience,
we may have all forgotten that by the time it happens.

Deadline: 8 a.m. GMT Tuesday September 19, which is, I think, 2 a.m. EDT
Tuesday, 1 a.m. CDT, and 11 p.m. Monday September 18 on the sunny Pacific
coast (PDT). Please figure your own time if it is not one of these.

Happy voting!

Nancy
