It occurred to me that if she was home sick, she couldn't be homesick. Is there a word for this kind of almost self-antonym? Last year we had a discussion on this group about real self-antonyms (e.g. cleave), but that's not what I mean this time. Are there any other neat examples of the kind? -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt
