How would they work? I don't know if they were all ringers or not, but my edition of the OED (that's Oxford English Dictionary, no, not the latest edition, the one before that) contains a section on "Spurious words". These are words they found in other dictionaries which they never found anywhere else in printed english text (and they look at a *lot* of printed text!). -- ====================================================================== domain: tahorsley@csd.harris.com USMail: Tom Horsley uucp: ...!uunet!hcx1!tahorsley 511 Kingbird Circle Delray Beach, FL 33444 +==== Censorship is the only form of Obscenity ======================+ | (Wait, I forgot government tobacco subsidies...) | +====================================================================+
