There were (probably still are) both bramble berries and blackberries near where my parents lived. The berries look alike but the brambles aren't quite as tasty as the blackberries and leaves are different, being lobed instead of single. They also have even worse thorns if you can imagine it.

well WinddniW, you are now perforce obligatorily expected to write the longest palindrupe to be found in Known Space; and it goes without saying that..

>etaereate

hey!

Etaereate truly is a word that should be.

I propose that its pronunciation could be:

eh-TEAR-ee-it

or

uh-TEAR-ee-it

...but I like the first better.

Example sentence:

"Etaereate fruits may be found in abundance on the byways of the rolling hills of New England, the beloved wild raspberry of Robert Frost being a prime example of this kind of bramble fruit."

Question: What is the proper term for fruits that have their seeds on the outside of the exocarp, such as the strawberry?

etaereate is potentially more worthless than aetataureate (coined as a nonce-word by Michael Chabon).

Definitions, please, tsuwm.

From the collision of roots it's gotta be golden age or of the golden age I guess?

>Definitions, please, tsuwm.

I could do that, but in the interests of the struggle against nescience, in all of its rampant forms, please read on.

you could add a OneLook button to your toolbar, right up there with the Address and Go buttons. then you could just click OneLook and paste a word into the OneLook search box and you would save yourself (and myself) the all the time it takes to ask (and answer) this kind of request. If you don't know how to do this (it's really simple) I could post the instructions right here. (this is Miscellany, isn't it?!)

you can, of course, do this with any site you use so often that even using a bookmark seems bothersome.
I have buttons for OneLook, OED, and (wait for it) wwftd on my toolbar. (there, now this is almost an actual word post.) all browsers give you similar customizing features.

oh, here's the link for aetataureate
http://onelook.com/?w=aetataureate&ls=a

but if you just want to skip the whole thing, mav is pretty much there.

NB: the Chabon citation is from the amazing The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.

d'oh, shoulda known it ud be on that dickshoneairy site!

tsuwm, did you give some of us this title as a recommendation at some point/some place/some alternate life? or am I just disrememberificationising?

But, but...dang it, I like my nescience, and will fight to the death to keep it!

(Do you mean to tell me that there is some way that my computer could be told to add a button for Onelook or whatever? Seriously?? Geez, it sure would be nice to have one for this place. Where would it be--up top along with back, forward, stop, refresh, search, etc., or--I hope not--down at the bottom where there are just icons for, ex., my anti-virus program?) (I can hear you sighing from clear down here, M.)

Ms. J, I just PM'd the manual for this to Ww. If she finds it helpful atall, perhaps she could post same here. or if you can tolerate the MS/IE Help manual, open up the manual (click Help | Contents and Index) and go to Customizing Your Brower: Change the appearance of the Windows toolbar.

but to answer your question, you could have a button for any site you visit alot up there in the grey. I have buttons for OneLook, AWAD, OED and (whoda thunk) wwftd.

Here's what tsuwm sent me and it worked without a hitch. Thanks, tsuwm!

"so you've got IE, right?

1. right click (however you do that with optical mouse) in the toolbar area (the grey area up top with all the other buttons) you should see a pull-down menu that looks like this:
/ Standard Buttons
/ Address Bar
/ Links
Radio

if Links is not checked, select it (left click), and when you right click the toolbar again Links should be checked.

2) now, somewhere on the toolbar there should be a separated field labeled "Links", which comes and goes with the menu selection you've just played with. There may or may not be clickable buttons displayed next to it -- most likely not unless someone has changed settings for you since you got your system.

3) If there are buttons on the toolbar that you never use you can delete them by right-clicking ON THE BUTTON itself, which gives you another pull-down menu with a Delete option. This holds for any of the buttons in the grey area -- if you never use them you can pretty confidentally get rid of them; they're just taking up space you could use for better stuff. NOTE: Should you accidentally delete a button that you find that you need, it's easily recovered.

4) now for the good stuff; and it's pretty simple. In order to create a new button for (say) OneLook, just go to OneLook.com. Next to the address (it's in the Address box! :) you should see an icon to the left of the Address. Left-click that icon and without releasing the mouse button drag that sucker right over next to the Link field. et viola!" ~ tsuwm

Edit: I just took the five sites I visit regularly and dragged each over to the links. Super. It's like having a very Highly Favored Favorites in one place without having to scroll down. Great.
