Re: OT-CHAT: foreigners, cyberspace, & vocabulary

Rachel,

Do you know the game BALDERDASH?  You'd love it.  For each round, 
there is a word which probably no one knows.  Each player writes a 
definition, as plausible as possible.  Then you vote on whose is 
right, and the player with the most votes wins.  SO FUN!  Probably 
the only occasion for which a masters in creative writing proves 
useful.

Patricia Brooks, whose social security check reflects the value 
society places on such a degree.

really old ones that have definitions for words that I have not heard

unabridged dictionary. It has the old and new definitions of the word 
and the disbelief that it would stand for what it stands for today It 
also has the chemical makeup for colchicine and other formulas in it. 
Super reading just for fun. I have read all this 3 days late so I am 
sure I will also be right in there with you as I ran and got my old 
monster and looked it up right away, out of curiosity as to what used 
to be and replied to fast. But from what I read the usage would 
probably be allowed by this relic
